GAFY believes the best way to initially help empower youth through sports is to enhance current programs already in place. Rather than starting from the ground up we create synergy with our partners who already know the youth in their area and to allow them to increase the quality and quantity of opportunities offered.
GAFY began working with an at-risk girl’s center in the Spring in New Providence (Bahamas) to provide athletic facilities and equipment destroyed in Hurricane Matthew.
GAFY started a refurbishment project in the summer for a youth boxing program in Nassau (Bahamas) damaged in Hurricane Matthew.
GAFY worked with a community center in September after Hurricane Harvey to provide basic goods needed as well as youth athletic equipment.
Our GAFY student chapter at Virginia Tech is currently working on a project to help local children in the U.S. We expect to have student chapters at 5 colleges by the end of 2018 and 10-15 colleges by the end of 2019 doing work in their local communities.
GAFY is hosting a Youth Conference in Nassau in March 2018 in conjunction with the U.S. Embassy and the Bahamian government.
