Youth Volunteer Corps – Open House
The Youth Volunteer Corps, a national organization devoted to creating meaningful service projects for youth, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. YVC welcomed nearly 100 guests to its new office in the Brockett House for an Open House on October 8th. The move was made possible by a grant from the Sunderland Foundation.
