Support

Pitch in to make meaningful work happen.

VYCC is a nonprofit organization that combines fee-for service revenues, grant funding, and support from individuals and organizations in the community who are moved to support this powerful work. The outcomes are twofold: young people learn and grow; and the projects they complete make Vermont healthier.

Support paid service experiences for young adults

Our communities benefit from paid service at the individual and systems level; in the immediate and in the long-term. VYCC gives young adults opportunities to take action, make a difference, and connect with the land.

VYCC became an independent nonprofit organization in 1992. VYCC is an accredited corps through The Corps Network’s Center of Excellence, meaning the organization has demonstrated a high level of accountability to funders, has the capacity to provide meaningful programming, and delivers quality results to partners. Candid (formerly Guidestar) recognizes VYCC’s profile with a Gold Seal of Transparency; and Charity Navigator has awarded VYCC the top level rating: four stars. This means Charity Navigator views VYCC as an organization that meets or exceeds best practices and carries out its mission with financial efficiency.

VYCC’s farm maintains organic certification by The Real Organic Project.
