In the heart of Central New York, GL Imprinting shines as a beacon of positive change.

The Origin of Good Life Youth Foundation
Founded in August 2012, the Good Life Youth Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to youth engagement, entrepreneurship, and HipHop culture. The foundation was created to combat youth violence, poverty, and incarceration by harnessing the transformative power of HipHop and entrepreneurial opportunities. By connecting high-risk youth with these opportunities, the foundation seeks to inspire change and build brighter futures.
Confronting Realities in Syracuse, NY

National Programming & Impact
The Good Life Youth Foundation's influence reaches across the nation through consulting and training. They collaborate with and train jurisdictions from Kansas City and Albuquerque to New York and Puerto Rico, sharing a proven model that bridges the gap between systems and communities.
