At the GKW Foundation for Kids & Teens, our youth programs aren’t just activities—they’re moments that matter, experiences that shape, and love that sticks. Everything we do comes from the heart of Ms. Gigi, because she knows what it’s like to struggle, but still want to have fun and just be a kid and to need someone to believe in you.
Our programs give kids and teens a place where they can be themselves, explore their gifts, and grow without fear. From art, music, and cooking classes to mentorship, community events, and outdoor adventures, every activity is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and teach life skills.
But more than that, it’s a space where kids feel safe, supported, and valued. A place where they know they matter, they’re seen, and their dreams are never too big. Ms. Gigi shows them that their past doesn’t define them, their struggles don’t limit them, and love can change everything.
The GKW programs are real, intentional, and from the heart—because when kids feel love, guidance, and support, they thrive, shine, and become the best version of themselves
GKW FOUNDATION FOR KIDS AND TEENS volunteering isn’t just about helping—it’s about joining Ms. Gigi in her mission to change lives, one child at a time. Every program, every activity, every moment of care comes straight from her heart, and when you volunteer, you become part of that love and dedication.

GKW Community Events
Bringing Love, Joy, and Opportunity to Every Corner of Our Community
At the GKW Foundation for Kids & Teens, our mission doesn’t stop at the GKW home—it extends into the streets, neighborhoods, and hearts of the community. Every event we host is built from the heart of Ms. Gigi, designed to uplift, inspire, and empower youth while bringing families and neighbors together.
Empowering Kids & Teens, One Resource at a Time
At the GKW Foundation for Kids & Teens, we believe every child deserves the tools, guidance, and opportunities to grow into their best self. Our youth resources go beyond academics—they’re about real-life skills, self-confidence, and empowerment, all from the heart of Ms. Gigi.
Through our programs, youth learn:
Every resource is intentional, hands-on, and rooted in love, giving youth a safe space to explore, learn, and grow. At GKW, it’s more than programs—it’s a foundation for life skills, confidence, and dreams realized.
The GKW Foundation for Kids & Teens exists because of Ms. Gigi Whitaker’s heart, a heart so big it drives everything we do—from the GKW Home to community events, to the Gigi Programs that shape lives every day. She has poured herself into this mission, giving love, guidance, and opportunity to children and teens who need it most. But the truth is, her heart alone cannot sustain it—it takes a village.
When you donate, you become a part of that village. You help fund the experiences, care, and opportunities that keep our youth growing, learning, and thriving. Your support directly impacts:
Every dollar you give helps provide food, hygiene, learning materials, transportation to experiences, life skills, and unforgettable memories. Donations help Ms. Gigi continue to teach, care, and pour love into youth while building long-term programs like a playground, gardens to grow food, and spaces where kids can learn to live, survive, and thrive independently.
Nothing GKW does is possible without your support. Your donation is not just funding—it is a vote of belief in the potential of every child, a recognition of Ms. Gigi’s heart and sacrifice, and a commitment to keeping the mission alive.
When you give, you don’t just support programs—you sustain love, guidance, learning, and life-changing experiences. You become part of the village that allows Ms. Gigi and the GKW Foundation for Kids & Teens to continue showing children that they are seen, they are valued, and they are capable of anything.
We are deeply grateful for your support. With your help, we can continue feeding souls, growing minds, and planting seeds—literally and figuratively—for a brighter future.
