History/Organization: GYAC is a 501(c)(3), who opened its doors in 1998. Its sole purpose is to enhance the academic achievement of children in Indian River County. A volunteer Board of Directors governs GYAC. The Board embodies the concept that there is nothing more important than ensuring that our children are provided the opportunities and support necessary to ensure their graduation from high school which will enable them to attend the college or vocational program of their choosing. Areas of Expertise: Staff includes degreed teachers and tutors, retired psychologists, professional mentors and volunteers, and recreational support staff. Collaborative partners provide specific programmatic expertise in such areas as cultural arts, gardening and music instruction. Targeted Population: At-risk students who live in the Gifford, Sebastian, Vero Beach and Wabasso areas of Indian River County. In addition to youth, GYAC provides programs and activities for adults and seniors citizens. The average daily attendance at GYAC for programs and activities is over 200 students and adults. Facility: GYAC was a 24,000 square foot facility equipped with classrooms, computer labs, a library operated by the County, and an in-door gym but has recently completed a 14,000 SF expansion. The new educational center includes eight multi-use classrooms including a computer lab, two administrative offices and an outdoor patio. Not only is GYAC used for events, exercise classes, bible studies, and computer and educational training for seniors, it is also a home for those in need of services and information. The Center hosts Job Fairs, Health Clinics, training classes, and community gatherings. It has become a vital part of the Gifford community as well as an asset to Indian River County.
