I started at YC with three small children. YC truly changed my life. It was a great experience. YC helped me find my way again. That was 20 years ago. Now I am Principal of Mingus High School. I've transitioned from being a recipient of benefits to now help others. I've created the GLOH scholarship (Gee's Love Optimism & Hope scholarship) for single parents. I am very grateful to YC and the Foundation." -- Genie Gee
The Foundation has been instrumental in the development of many programs including the Del E. Webb Family Enrichment Center which provides accessible, affordable, high quality early childcare while serving as a laboratory school for the Early Childhood Education Department.
The FEC has provided a community for our family to be part of where our children feel safe, loved, nurtured and they get to participate in the most creative and amazing activities! We're so thankful for the Yavapai College Foundation's help in developing this Center." -- Hope & Geoff Hyland
