The future of our children impacts our community’s opportunities and success for decades to come.
With open hearts and open minds, this community can rally our resources to not only lift kids up, but set them on a trajectory for accomplishing amazing things.
Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.
Our leadership team brings years of experience to bear on some of the greatest challenges of our time. We’re results driven, with a proven record of previous successes. The Urbana Youth Center is just one of the projects the GrandWorks Foundation is leading.
Ready to take the next step?
This is a movement. Whether you’re most comfortable contributing time to help achieve our program goals, money to help us grow, or energy to drive this engine of change, we need you on our team.
“Without the support of the community, open minds, and a willingness to explore the opportunities before us, this inspiring project would not be possible.”
— Justin T. Weller, Lead Project Manager
