Gap Community Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

The Gap Youth Training Services, Inc. is a California non-profit religious corporation formed in 1998 with the purpose of providing facilitative leadership for Christian youth workshops for young people ages 13-18 years old as well as adults. The workshops are designed to open people's eyes to see the value of who they are, their God-given uniqueness and what they have to contribute. The outcome is elevated self-esteem, a deeper sense of community, forgiveness, repentance, a closer connection with famiy , and empowerment to make choices based on the future that they are committed to having. The workshops are 2, 3, or 4 day experiential-based learning, including a ropes course, lectures, group discussion and worship time. To fulfill the purpose, we also train and develop facilitators for the workshops. This process to facilitate training opportunities that empower, inspire and resource individuals to come alive and create a lasting impact in their community.
