Youth Volunteer Corps Summer of Service!
Hands-on volunteer camp for teens ages 11–18. Youth volunteers build leadership skills and make a real impact.
Activate Good is excited to host our annual Summer of Service!
This year, volunteers ages 11–18 will have the opportunity to engage more deeply with their community through thoughtfully designed half-day service camps.
Summer of Service offers structured, hands-on experiences that encourage youth to work collaboratively, strengthen leadership and life skills, learn about a variety of causes across the Triangle, and earn service hours while making a meaningful impact in their community.
Session Information
Each Summer Session will include 5 engaging half-days from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM (project times may vary slightly, and any updates will be shared in advance).
Throughout the week, participants will serve at a different nonprofit each day, learning about local community needs and contributing in meaningful ways. A detailed session schedule, including project locations, times, and any additional instructions, will be shared before the session begins.
All projects will take place throughout the Triangle (most are in or within a 10 min. drive of Raleigh).
