YVCHR's Summer of Service is underway! Youth across Hampton Roads have been out in force, investing hard work and heart work to strengthen their communities. With 6 camp sessions complete and 3 remaining, we are incredibly grateful for the partnerships that make these transformative experiences possible for middle and high school students.
