Our Youth Need Your Support…Now More Than Ever!
For the first time in over 15 years, GYA does not have grant funding to operate the Summer Youth Employment Training Program. We urge you to give our future workforce a chance by being a sponsor. Each $1,000 contribution will give one youth 100 hours of paid work experience, pre-employment training and direct exposure to the non-profit and for-profit working world. GYA youth rely on the wages earned during the summer program to financially support their families with the basic household expenses including putting food on the table. GYA's goal is to raise $100,000 to serve 100 at-risk youth. Please join our efforts and put our youth to work!!! We count on your support, now more than ever!
Teen joblessness may hit record this summer
A record-low one in four U.S. teenagers
will land a summer job in the coming months as a result of a still-poor job market and
lost federal funding, according to a report issued on Monday.

Believe in our future, make a donation and make a difference!!!!!
Dear Youth, at this point in time GYA is still uncertain about funding for the summer program. We currently have over 700 completed applications and will no longer be accepting new applications for the Summer Youth Employment Training Program. If funding becomes available, applicants will be contacted.
