(DIVISIONAL) LOWER EXEC
All members of Youth Care Club are students at each of one of these participating high schools, where they function as individual school clubs, or YCC Branch Divisions. Each division contains a President (seen below) who leads the school club, and guides much of the organization together.
As a school branch, monthly meetings are held within each club to discuss upcoming events, leadership opportunities, and more. Most events are held outside of school, so volunteers will often be from one of these six schools. This gives every volunteer a chance to build relationships and create friendships out of their circle, and meet with new people!
However, students who wish to join, but aren't a part of one of these schools, are always welcome to join YCC and create their own school division! It's as simple as creating your own school club. Contact us to get started!
