Choose Your Own Adventure Summer

August 10, 2023

Give Back University (formerly known as the Youth Leaders Program) is a new part of GBU’s commitment to our youth and their education. The best way to help the communities we care about is to help foster a sense of community in our youth. We hope that Give Back University students will grow up to be advocates and strong leaders both for GBU and for the communities they live in.

Kickstart your points earning this summer with our revised GBU Youth Leader Choose Your Own Adventure Summer program.

Every child can name a teacher who made a difference: the one who stayed late to help, offered encouragement at just the right moment or made learning feel exciting. Recognizing a teacher’s dedication doesn’t require grand gestures, but it does call for intention. Thoughtful appreciation gifts, especially during Teacher Appreciation Week or year-end celebrations, offer a tangible way to express heartfelt gratitude.
