Insurance Costs for GYA Youth Cafe

Global Youth Action, Inc (GYA) exists to change the lives of young people by encouraging, educating and equipping them.  They are to be encouraged to pursue their best self and their passions, educated through innovative and global programs and experiences and equipped to change their live, communities and the world.  

We are raising funds at this time for insurance for our youth cafe.  It will cost approximately $1200 for the insurance coverage.  While it's not a 'sexy' goal, it is necessary to ensure the success of the youth cafe and other GYA programs.  

We need the funds as soon as they can be collected.  We have a small amount of reserves but those will be depleted in a few months.  We are a small non-profit who has worked to spend as much of our funds as possible on providing programs and services to youth.  Our Executive Director is currently a full-time volunteer.  Our Community Advocate is self-funded and we exist primarily through partnerships and volunteers at this point.  

Insurance is required to use venues, hold events and serve youth through programs.  Right now our services are located in Portsmouth, Virginia but the pilotting of each one will provide the necessary data to grow GYA beyond the limits of our city, state and throughout the US. 

Try not to think of this as a donation, but as an investment.  You have the opportunity through a small amount of money to make a huge difference in the lives of teens, not just here in Portsmouth but throughout the country as we grow in the coming years.
