OUR COMMITMENT

As a member of the United for Youth Network, we commit to:

Youth Voice and Leadership

  • Teach critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a team setting through District C program, mentoring small groups of high school students from a cross-section of the community.
     
  • Retain our region's diverse college students by connecting them to mentors in the business community through the NEXT AVL program.
