Initial funding for a critical staff member for the GOGI Campus ~ Lynwood pilot program was secured, making it possible for the team of more than 20 volunteers to benefit from one staff member responsible for coordination of campus events.

“While our model relies heavily on community volunteers and masters and PsyD level psychology students, drug treatment counseling students, and social worker students, we needed a staff position to coordinate our activities.  We are excited to report we have received initial funding for this position,” said Coach Taylor.

The GOGI Campus concept coordinates community efforts and serves as an educational opportunity for individuals seeking licensing and certification to work in the mental health fields.   While the team of GOGI volunteers is actively seeking formal grant and foundation funding at this time, the private gift permitted immediate hiring of a key personnel.

“Our benefactor is anonymous at this point,” Coach Taylor said, “but the women in the campus and the volunteers are grateful beyond measure.”
