GMYS has always been at its core a parent run organization.

I have read and understand the parent support and participation requirements. I agree to the volunteer hours as stated, and understand if I am unable to volunteer my time, I will pay a $100 fee to opt out of the 10 hour requirement. Agreement is per family, not per student. Families who pay the $100 fee will be recognized as donors in the GMYS Playbill.
