About Empowering Youth Global Connection

Empowering Youth Global Connection (EYGC) is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in the Holland/Zeeland, Michigan area that operates programs locally and in western Kenya. The organization focuses on early-literacy, cross-cultural education, youth empowerment and family-focused programming through initiatives such as the Reading Safari Library, Pride of the Nations cultural programming, a Pen Pal program linking Michigan and Kenyan youth, a Kenya scholarship program and community development projects in Ebwicha, Kenya.

The organization holds federal 501(c)(3) status (established 2019) and reports modest, community-scale annual revenues consistent with a small regional nonprofit. In the last 2–3 years EYGC has expanded programming with grant support and corporate/in-kind partnerships, participated in local civic events, and been an active recipient of community foundation and state-level program support that enabled growth of its reading, cultural, and parenting programs.
