Save GSC - Jon's Story

Watch Jon Zawodny, Director of Children and Youth Ministry at Lake Ann United Methodist Church share his Great Start Collaborative (GSC) Story.

Great Start Collaborative & Family Coalition Traverse Bay 32P funding is essential to the coordinated and strategic efforts supporting young children and families in the counties of Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska and Leelanau. Without sustained investment, many high-impact initiatives-and systems that connect them are at risk.

We're not giving up, but we can’t do it alone. Help us save GSC across Michigan. Learn more and share your GSC Story.
