Greater Youth Foundation

Greater Youth Foundation I’m Malacia, the proud founder of the Greater Youth Foundation (GYF) and a devoted single mother of four amazing boys.

We are an organization interested in empowering our youth by connecting with passionate professionals who are willing to volunteer their time to show them desired career interest. Together, we’re building a legacy of giving back — creating opportunities for others just as others once created for us. MY STORY
As a teen, I was blessed to have a mentor through a teen companion program who believed in

me when I couldn’t see my own potential. That relationship opened my eyes to the idea that I was bigger than my environment and capable of achieving anything I set my heart on. That experience planted the seed that would one day grow into GYF. I learned firsthand how one caring mentor, one opportunity, or even one conversation can completely shift the direction of a young person’s life. WHY I STARTED GYF
As my own children grew, I made it a priority to connect them with mentors, educators, and community leaders who could help shape their character, career paths, and life skills — resources that weren’t always accessible within our family. Through those experiences, I saw how exposure and guidance can transform not just individuals, but entire families. GYF was born from that truth — to build bridges for youth who need a safe space to grow, learn, and thrive, rather than becoming a product of their circumstances.
