🙌 Why Volunteer with GNZ?

​

​

GNZ exists to transform inner-city communities through education, training, recreation, and recovery — and none of that happens without people like you.

By volunteering, you:

• Empower men and women seeking a second chance

• Help build safe spaces for learning and growth

• Share your skills, compassion, and hope with those who need it most

 

“I was lifted by people who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself — now it’s my turn to lift others.”
— John Dainwood, Founder of GNZ
