James and Gladys Linn; our founding family roots, were always teaching by showing. They consistently welcomed droves of youth into their home, took them on trips, and sent them on amazing trips. We recognize that youth retain information and understanding more by experiencing. In James’ and Gladys’ honor, “Gladys and Gem Exposure” allows youth and families to travel locally, nationally, and internationally. We experience education excursions and explore museums, career awareness, cultural appreciation, food tastings, live shows, animal escapades, theme parks, and hiking adventures. Through these experiences, youth connect with empowering life skills and experience hands-on education that will be ingrained in their system for a lifetime.
