The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation's flagship project, the Young Living Academy, began in 2009 and is home to our Sponsor a Child program. 

When we began in 2009, there were 83 students. Today, the Academy serves 350 children in grades pre-K through 12. 

In addition to a top-quality curriculum, the Academy allows students to participate in:

• Music classes
• Drama and dance clubs
• Soccer, baseball, and volleyball clubs
• Computer and English classes
• Hands-on agricultural education and experiences

As part of the agricultural education, students experience the Seed to Seal® process firsthand at the Young Living Ecuador farm.

The Young Living Academy provides and amazing educational opportunity for kids in Ecuador.   Last year I sponsored a kindergartner and was able to go to her graduation.  It was a wonderful experience to learn about the Young Living Farm and school there.   It was great meeting the kids.  I am now sponsoring four kids and want to go back to graduation to see them all.  Your support would be appreciated.
