Description

Connects youth to positive outreach sites and provides at risk prevention through volunteer work at pre-approved not for profit agencies within Venango County. Participants in the program earn "time dollars" for each hour they volunteer up to 80 hours in a calendar year. The "time dollars" are credited to the volunteer's account at the rate of $4 an hour. The value of the hours volunteered can be redeemed for gift cards which can be used at participating area businesses. The value of the "time dollars" can also be used towards education expenses, field trips, YMCA or YWCA memberships, extra curricular activities and club participation fees. The program is housed at the Oil City YMCA. The Y, along with the funding contributors, and other organizations collaborate to deliver the Community Youth Volunteer Program.
