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.
