The place did not come out of earth. You are enjoying the fruits of the work put in by volunteers before you. This is not a free place for someone to come and take and tell the volunteers what to do. Be respectful. We believe in serving, but not to the selfish. If we find your email or activities are selfish in nature we will have you removed. Parents are taking volunteer efforts. Volunteers are not answerable to you. If you offend a volunteer, you will be out.

Volunteer are our heroes and they are the brand. They bring the culture of the YGIC to everyone.

YGIC is a privilege and not a right.
