Troubled by what he learned while working with at-risk adolescents in the Washington, DC area on his first tour as Washington Redskins Head Coach, Joe Gibbs envisioned a program to help these young boys and girls. His vision was for a program that would combine character rehabilitation, quality education, and personal faith and life skills in a “New Life Center”. With the help from local business leaders and friends, Youth For Tomorrow opened its doors in 1986.
From 1986 to 2003 the program served only boys living in the original campus home, The William A. Hazel House. The boys attended classes in a trailer. Through an aggressive Capital Campaign, a new school building was opened in 2003, The Joe Gibbs Center for Academic and Physical Education. A generous donation from Bob Wiser, and his wish for YFT to serve at-risk girls, five girls’ homes were built and the girls’ program was launched. The secondary school is fully accredited by the State of Virginia. Since 1986, more than 1,000 children and their families have been benefitted from the program services offered at YFT.
Gibbs remains totally committed and remains actively involved serving as Chairman of the Board and attending YFT Fundraising events.
Winspire is proud to partner with such a wonderful organization. We would like to congratulate both Love and Youth For Tomorrow for winning the March Donation Give-Away, and wish them the best in 2012.
