Have questions about the YVC experience? Visit our FAQ page.
Before registering, you must first complete a Youth Volunteer Profile and Waiver. YVC requires every volunteer to have a waiver completed before the start of their first project. A youth who attends a YVC project without a waiver may not be permitted to serve. Volunteers only need to complete one waiver, regardless of the number of projects they are registered for. If you are registering multiple volunteers, you will need to complete a waiver for each volunteer.
I have already completed a 2020 waiver.

    Terms and Conditions


    Risk Disclosure: I understand that adult supervisors will accompany my child on all projects and activities. I also understand that the supervisors may be volunteers and that the project or activity will involve the normal level of risk associated with such a project or activity. I agree that this form shall waive any rights, claims of responsibility or liability, or cause of action resulting from personal injury to my child in the YVC program and agree to indemnify the partner agency and its employees or representatives from any such claims.

    Medical Care Authorization: At any time due to such circumstances as accident or sudden illness I hereby give permission for emergency medical treatment to be obtained for my child. I understand that a YVC representative or the partner agency will call me prior to leaving or upon arrival at the emergency destination, and that I will be responsible for all related expenses incurred (i.e. ambulance or taxi costs, etc.).

    Media/Transportation Release: Your signature on this release grants permission to use your child’s name, photograph, video, audio recording, and/or quote by Youth Volunteer Corps or any of its related agencies for marketing and other official purposes. I authorize YVC and/or partner agency staff to transport my child in their vehicles if needed.

    Parent/Legal Guardian Responsibility: I will inform YVC of any special need or condition my child has. I understand withholding this information is unfair to my child and to the YVC leader entrusted with my child's safety. I will be punctual when dropping off/picking up my child from projects, both for his/her safety and as a courtesy to YVC and its partner agencies. I understand that violating these policies may lead to my child's exclusion from YVC programs.
