Amazing Things Are Happening Here!

The Urbana Youth Center is a project of the GrandWorks Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) public charity organization. Fundamentally, our ability to provide grand experiences with amazing outcomes relies on the community’s ongoing investment - both financially and as volunteers. We need you to build bright futures!

 

Donate

Lifting children out of poverty, providing new opportunities, and feeding kids who would otherwise go hungry is a big undertaking and it requires a substantial investment. We need your help to build better futures.

Volunteer

From mentoring kids to teaching classes, cleaning, driving, and more, it takes a team to build bright futures for our youth. We need people from all backgrounds to share a diverse range of experiences with our children.

 

The Urbana Youth Center accepts in-kind donations as well as monetary contributions to help run its Hygiene and Resources Programming for students.

*The Youth Center prefers the specific brands in the request but will not refuse any donation of NEW hygiene products or clean clothing. The reason for this special request is to try and provide consistency for our students in the products they receive.
