Sometimes One Small Thing Can Keep a Student Going.
A textbook. A tank of gas. Personal-care essentials. A professional outfit. School supplies.
When life creates an unexpected barrier, practical support can make it easier for a student to stay focused on her education.

Sometimes a student's greatest barrier does not fit neatly into a category. GYYC may help connect students with appropriate resources or assistance when an unexpected situation threatens their ability to continue their education.
She Already Has the Determination. Sometimes She Just Needs One Barrier Removed.
College students may be balancing school with work, parenting, financial pressure, housing instability, grief, trauma, caregiving responsibilities, and unexpected life circumstances.
A difficult season should not determine the rest of a student's story.
GYYC believes education can create opportunity, choices, and a path toward greater financial independence. Our goal is to help students remain connected to their education and to the resources, relationships, and support that can help them keep moving forward.
There Is More Than One Way to Stand in the Gap
MAKE A DONATION
Financial contributions can help GYYC respond to student needs and support programming.
CONNECT A RESOURCE
Businesses, organizations, professionals, and community partners may be able to provide products, services, expertise, referrals, or other resources.
You May Never Know How Far One Act of Support Can Reach.
One practical need met today may help a student make it to class tomorrow.
Help us remove the barrier—not the dream.
