🌎✨ A Special Multicultural Exchange at GIAC!
Take a look at this wonderful recap video created by students from Universidad San Francisco de Quito, who visited GIAC on Monday, March 9 to participate in a multicultural program with our Youth Program participants.
This experience was made possible through a partnership with the Cornell University Einhorn Center for Community Engagement.
The students were so inspired by their time with our youth that they created this recap video to share what they learned from the GIAC community. 💛
Our youth had a great time learning about Ecuadorian culture, history, and even playing games together. Moments like these remind us how powerful cultural exchange and community partnerships can be.
Take a look! 👇🎥

The GSVA is coordinating Baby Brigade 2026, a veteran-led community service initiative designed to support families across Ithaca who may be navigating limited childcare, resources, baby essentials, or support networks. Our goal is for this to be a truly collaborative, community-wide effort where all partners are recognized and celebrated.

What is Baby Brigade?

January–March 2026
• A community-wide donation drive collecting diapers, pull-ups, wipes, baby essentials, and caregiver-wellness items (coffee, books, gift cards, mugs, self-care items, etc.).

• We’re also launching “Pull-Ups for Pull-Ups,” a friendly fundraising challenge open to campus and community teams.
Saturday, March 21, 2026 (10 AM–2 PM):

• The Baby Brigade Family Fair: a free, open-to-the-community baby shower and family resource fair where we’ll distribute supplies, have raffles/giveaways for new and expecting parents, and connect parents and caregivers with health, wellness, and family-support organizations.

Our goal is simple: ease the load on families: moms, dads, caregivers, babies, and toddlers, while giving the entire Ithaca community a meaningful way to get involved.

Donation bin is set up i GIAC's lobby at 301 W. Court St. Ithaca!

Hi,
I wanted to personally reach out and share that GIAC is exploring the possibility of developing a 24/7 daycare option here in Tompkins County. This could be life-changing for so many working families, but it can only happen if we truly hear from the community.

Your voice matters. I’d be so grateful if you could take a moment to share your feedback and pass the link https://forms.gle/yy1S8ockPZNZPNru7 along to anyone you know who may benefit. The more voices we gather, the stronger this effort becomes.

Thank you so much for the support — I truly believe we can make this happen together.

With appreciation,
