Youth Initiative Program
The Gravity Water Youth Initiative Program (GWYI) began in 2018 and empowers young leaders to become active players in resolving the Global Water Crisis. It fosters inclusivity, global citizenship, and equitable access to opportunities. Youth Initiative Coordinators (interns) work with K-12 students to raise funds and sponsor sister school clean water projects in countries like Vietnam to secure safe drinking water for children in need. By combining education, leadership, fundraising, and awareness, the Youth Initiative Program provides students with the tools and experience to become true global leaders of change.
We are working with K-12 school teams to fund our spring 2025 school clean water projects through June 2025. Please consider supporting their efforts!
