Ladies and gentlemen Giving Youth Strategies to Thrive - GYST is hosting a different kind of event!! It's a MOVIE NIGHT!!! So young people, grab your friends, your home-boy or your home-girl and be at the spot! Listen, any G.Y.S.T. movie night is always going to be about 'clean entertainment' of course but more about inspiring, growth, life lessons and great discussion.. So, make no assumptions and "Be There" to support as we hope do so many more .. And Popcorn will be provided!! 🎬🎥🍿

Last night was another epic night of 'Midnight Basketball'! The one thing that stood out most was the love in the air.. A lot of laughing, smiling and kids just having a great time.. There was a lot of support from of course all the young people in the city, but want to give a huge shout out to UAW 685 for allowing us to us their facilities, Brian Seldon and KPD for hanging out and making the connection to our youth, Mayor Tyler Moore for coming and being an awesome presence, and to the countless Giving Youth Strategies to Thrive - GYST family and parent volunteers who make this event a success everytime. God bless you all, we look forward to many many more! 🏀

Giving Youth Strategies to Thrive - GYST put on the first ever 'Midnight Basketball' at Mt. Pisgah church in Kokomo, IN and it was amazing!!! Was so much fun to watch these young people engage with one another and have a great time playing hoop, doing TikTok videos, taking selfies, playing giant jenga, eating pizza etc.. There were about 80 youth present, and I heard from many of the youth that they couldnt wait until the next time.. Well, it might be sooner than you think!! Take a look at the video, feel the vibes, and next time, "Bring your people with you!!!" Great night yall! 🏀
