LDP participants also get hands-on volunteer experience through our community programs, including:
• GOAL programs, our buddy model programs that pair each participant with a teen volunteer.
• CCC’s mid-size programs, Celebrations, that utilize a freestyle format.
• Festivals, our largest and loudest programs designed to promote community building.
• Support Programs, where teens volunteer at partner-led activities, including tutoring, field days, summer camps, and more.
• Our first and now signature program, Amy’s Holiday Party
