Welcome to Youth Corps

QUOTES

"Leaders are not born, they are made. They immerge from their communities and from their places of work armed with only the tools that have been provided and shaped by the forces of their experiences. Youth Corps is one of those tools and forces and I welcome the opportunity to serve with this leadership team."

- Jim Morris, U.S. Army Colonel (retired)
Youth Corps Board Member

"Wow… what an organization and what great things you are doing for our future citizens. It's a unique chance to make an impact."
