Genesis Young Leaders

Founded in 2001, Genesis Young Leaders (GYL) is a group of young professionals aged 21-35 who share a commitment to ending domestic violence in our community.

The mission of GYL is to spread awareness around the issue of domestic violence through volunteerism, education and community stewardship. Members have the opportunity to volunteer monthly with the children staying at our shelter, attend educational events & networking happy hours and host one of the cornerstone events of the year, Genesis Masquerade.

Genesis Young Leaders believe that if we all work together the spread the same message, we can put an end to domestic violence.
