Volunteer Frederick is a wonderful organization that does so much for our local community! Their youth programs are extraordinary and allow me to participate in a variety of different service projects! I love their SummerServe Express program and the Youth Action Corps program (YAC)for short! I have earned over 200 service hours through thier programs. All of the staff are wonderful and they truly care about what we do!
