One of our four fundamental goals at YVC is diversity. We believe in including and valuing everyone, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because we know that it makes us stronger together. 💓💪🫂

Our programs encourage participants to be collaborative members of their communities. Developing compassion for others is a natural byproduct of service and YVC works to foster that potential at every turn.

Shoutout to Youth Volunteer Corps of Reading on their successful Global Cultural Unity Mural!

This mural connected 350+ youth from 20 countries. 🌎

Lead by Rhea Patel, VOiCEup Berks Intern, the mural invited youth to share what cultural unity means to them. Together they made a powerful, collaborative piece that reflects voices from across the globe!

What an amazing project! 🤝💓
