🥁 GIV Is.... 🥁

👁️ Everything, everywhere, all at once! 👁️

What is GIV?

In 2023, GIV celebrated 40 years of hosting life-changing learning adventures. To mark the occasion, we asked 40 of our alumni, friends, families, and supporters to share what "GIV Is" to them!

If we were to sum it up, GIV is everything and more.

GIV makes every effort to reduce barriers to attend our programs, including waiving application fees when it's appropriate.

We're able to do this thanks to generous donors - you could be one of them!
