Unlike traditional Give Back Groups, GBU Life Neighborhoods are permanent, ongoing teams that are provided the funding and resources needed to make a
lasting impact. So, are you ready to be part of something bigger than yourself? Get on the waitlist to be notified whenever this program is available.
