• Youth Inspire By Example Winner: United Community Center's Youth Volunteer Corps
  
  Launched in 2006 with 30 teens, the youth Volunteer Corps has grown into a team of 120 youth volunteers from the south side of Milwaukee. Each YVC member provides services for 120 hours during five summer weeks, and some serve an additional 5-10 hours per week during the school year. These motivated young volunteers organize and facilitate crime prevention activities, neighborhood cleanups, and intergenerational activities involving participants in the UCC Senior programs. YVC members also add tremendous value to the UCC Summer Enrichment Program, where they serve as group leaders, tutors, mentors and recreational assistants for children ages 6-12. The volunteers guide summer program participants through recreational and enrichment activities, allowing the United Community Center to provide a high quality summer program for many urban students. Each and every YVC participant graduates from high school, and 78% enroll in college. With every hour of volunteer service these students are moving forward, and making a difference in the lives of younger students who may one day follow in their footsteps. United Community Center is a comprehensive social service agency serving the families on the South Side of Milwaukee. Programs range from education to elder programs, meeting the needs of three-year-olds to 93-year-olds and everyone in between.
