GABY continues commitment to community

by Yumi Sera, Program Officer
Sacramento Region Community Foundation

The Grants Advisory Board for Youth (GABY) supports young people to learn about giving and serving and taking action on issues that they care about. A new board of Sacramento youth is excited to facilitate change in our community. We will be launching our new Web site and request for GABY proposals on Oct. 12! Proposals will be due Dec. 16.

Sierra Health Foundation recently hosted this year’s GABY members, their parents and organizational partners at its conference center. GABY members start the year with a hands-on retreat at the Center for Land Based Learning, where they will learn about wellness and the environment, and ready themselves for their commitment to the community.

GABY is a program of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, with grant support from Sierra Health Foundation. Please check out the GABY Web site or e-mail gaby@sacregcf.org. Contact me at (916) 921-7723 if you would like to request a presentation to your youth group.
