Youth Organization Volunteerism Grant 

Since 2016, the Dylan Meier Get Busy Livin’ Foundation (GBL) has sponsored youth volunteerism activities. The desire to serve others has always been ingrained in the GBL philosophy. Unbeknownst to Dylan he began volunteering early in his life through sports and various activities; first as a Pittsburg Purple Dragon, then as a Kansas State Wildcat, a Dresden Monarch, and a Milan Rhino teaching leadership, hard work and camaraderie to all those he came in contact with. Later he combined  his volunteering efforts with his love for adventure travel by WWOOFing his way across New Zealand working on organic farms (see the Captain Keith sailing story), as a painter, and as a waiter in an organic café, always seizing the moment and soaking up the beauty the fiords and people of New Zealand had to offer. 

A specific fund has been established to provide matching grants to be used for the purpose of any and all activities relating to youth volunteerism. Applicants must simply describe the volunteer activity and explain how the funds will be used to complete their worthy cause. (see the application on southeastkansas.org) or contact sherri.stephens@southeastkansas.org for more information)

Your donations and participation in the GBL 5k run and walk enable these programs to take flight.
