GYC is a long-running youth leadership program, established in 1962, and was the first of its kind. It gives high schoolers a chance to build character, lead and earn volunteer hours by planning and hosting youth-run programs to benefit and serve the community.

GYC is a membership-based organization, where members can receive perks for their service such as gift cards, service awards, and scholarships based on the number of hours of service. 

The session will be held at 6 p.m., Tuesday, August 15, at the Central Library, 219 N. Church St.

During the Open House, members will share information about the history of GYC, projects, and programs. There will be an orientation for volunteers and parents or guardians.
