Feedback from participants….
“I grew up in a tough neighborhood, and it wasn’t easy. I had a lot of adverse childhood experiences, but I was lucky because I had basketball. I did great in college and the NBA, but there were still struggles. I struggled with personal issues over the years, and it took a long time to become resilient. I am thankful to be able to collaborate with Youth of NC. They help so many people because they have the instinct to help organizations, which sets them apart from everyone else in the youth service industry. They are the best to work with and everyone should be in their network.”
“Our kids don’t live in silos! We work in silos. We have worked in silos for decades, but we can’t any longer. That’s why Youth of North Carolina is so important. We must work together across systems to meet the needs of our children and families who are suffering so much in our communities.”
“It was an incredible opportunity to connect with many passionate individuals and organizations dedicated to supporting and strengthening children and families across North Carolina.”
