Primarily led by older adult volunteers, our programs include: ? Mentoring and tutoring elementary, middle, and high school youth; ? Offering weekly conversation classes for adult English language learners; ? Engaging parents and young children in early learning and literacy; ? Supporting our neighbors in Gaithersburg in their efforts to create and maintain a safe and secure community. ? Engaging in organizing and advocacy for equity and access on social issues in Montgomery County and the Maryland state level. Together GBCI collaborates with residents at AMV, community partners, and passionate individuals across greater Gaithersburg forging intergenerational relationships that build resilience and improve the lives of children, youth, families, and older adults.
