Youth Service Programs
Youth Volunteer Corps
The Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) is a group of young people (ages 14-18) who are passionate about volunteerism and making an impact in their community. The YVC will work together to promote youth volunteerism all across Dane County. The group will take a leadership role in planning, organizing and participating in two large service events: the Teen Gift Program in the winter and Global Youth Service Day in the spring.

By Youth For Youth (BYFY)
BYFY is a unique volunteer opportunity for local youth to become leaders in the community. BYFY committee members are Dane County high school students who represent the youth community in identifying critical issues impacting their peers, establishing funding priorities, reviewing proposals, and recommending youth program funding.
By Youth For Youth is a collaborative project sponsored by Oscar Mayer/Kraft Foods, United Way of Dane County, Dane County Youth Commission, and the City of Madison Community Development Division.
