The Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP Youth Council is consistently active at the local and state level, including in positions of leadership. And every year, the branch awards college scholarships to deserving local students, allowing them to focus on their education rather than how they are going to pay for it.
By supporting these initiatives, you're providing opportunities that pay themselves forward in creating a more diverse and equitable Chapel Hill and Carrboro as we work together toward a better future.
With your support, tomorrow starts today.
