Studies have shown that children who volunteer from an early age adopt healthy lifestyle choices, learn life skills and continue to volunteer into adulthood.
The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley helps children to begin volunteering as early as pre-school, with projects designed for ages five through eighteen years old. The VCCV provides all the information and resources needed to get children involved and stay committed. Staff is available by email or phone to give personal assistance regarding volunteerism.
What kind of support do youth get?
The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley leads different service projects each month. These projects include step-by-step instructions, compassion and issues education, meeting activities, additional resources related to the project and information on possible partners. These projects are centered on issues such as literacy, hunger, poverty, the sick, and the elderly or seasons of service such as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Earth Day and Veterans Day.
