Who We Are

Volunteers for Youth has been a part of the Orange County community since 1981. From the beginning, volunteers have played a critical role in all aspects of our organization’s functioning. Primary funding for Volunteers for Youth comes from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, the towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Orange County, United Way of the Greater Triangle, private donations, foundations, and the revenue raised through our annual golf tournament.
