Youth Corps empowers 9th and 10th grade students across the Midlands of South Carolina through a 9-month experiential leadership development program. Since 2005, Youth Corps has equipped hundreds of young people with the tools, confidence, and real-world skills they need to lead in their schools, careers, and communities.

Students gain exposure to diverse career fields, develop public speaking and critical thinking skills, build relationships with mentors, and participate in service projects that impact their communities. Through hands-on experiences, they become more self-aware, community-minded, and prepared for life beyond high school.

Alumni go on to pursue college, careers, and service with a deep sense of purpose-many returning to give back as mentors, volunteers, and civic leaders. Youth Corps helps students grow into the leaders our region needs-compassionate, confident, and ready to make a difference. Student after student has stated, "I would not be where I am today without Youth Corps!"
