About Us

Our Team & Volunteers

G’Z US Connects is led by people who believe in showing up for the community, not just talking about it. Our team and volunteers support youth, men in recovery, and families through mentorship, sports, prevention, and positive relationships.

From coaches and mentors to community partners and support staff, our mission is simple: create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Our Story

G’Z US Connects was founded by Anthony Medina and officially established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2023. The organization started with sober softball teams that helped men in recovery build connection, accountability, and community.

What began through softball grew into a larger mission: supporting men in recovery, mentoring at-risk youth, and helping families connect with culturally responsive community support. Today, G’Z US Connects continues to use mentorship, sports, prevention, and recovery support to build stronger futures.
