“At CVAC, we are really proud of our Youth Corps and how much they learn and grow during their time with us,” said Brendan Dymes, Youth Corps leader. “The kids get really motivated by their responsibilities and feel a great sense of pride in helping out their community – it’s truly a win win.”
In addition to becoming full-riding members, the Youth Corps is involved in inventory checks, re-stocking, and vehicle operation checks amongst other things.
