IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM GLOBAL YOUTH CONNECT'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear friends, alumni and patrons of GYC,
As you may know, Global Youth Connect’s Board of Directors had made the decision to freeze GYC’s program during the pandemic out of utmost caution for the safety of participants and program staff.
As GYC’s budget relies largely on program fees, our remaining board has thus made the very difficult decision to dissolve GYC as an organization. This is not a decision that was made lightly. The reality is that GYC is not able to continue with its current infrastructure.
GYC has held programs in over 30 countries making an invaluable impact both within communities overseas, and on a national level, too. As GYC winds down, we will keep GYC's Facebook page up and running so that program alumni and friends of GYC will always have a place to connect and network.
Please share your memories and GYC’s impact on your lives and communities on GYC's Facebook page.
With warm regards,
GYC’s Board of Directors
