Campaign Overview:

Every day, youth ages 12-16 face a critical gap in support once they age out of many traditional youth programs. Without a safe place to turn during non-school hours, many of these young people struggle with finding guidance, support, and a sense of belonging. At GAD Youth Center, we are committed to filling that gap in Spotsylvania County, Virginia—offering a safe haven and providing the resources and programs that help youth thrive academically, emotionally, and professionally.

But we can’t do it without YOU.

We need your support to provide essential summer programs like health and wellness, and life skill training to youth ages 12-16. Your donation will help ensure that GAD Youth Center is a place where youth can feel safe, supported, and empowered to build a better future.

Why Your Support Matters:

GAD will be providing pilot workshops in June and July 2025 to a limited number of youth in Spotsylvania County. Topics will cover Life Skills and Health and Wellness training.

Every donation made to GAD Youth Center directly impacts the lives of the youth we serve. Your contribution will help:

Provide scholarships or discounts for families who can’t afford program fees or have multiple children in the program
Cover the cost of materials, food, drinks and snacks
