Local Events

ncyt is a grassroots effort. We believe in building this organization like we build relationships--one person at a time. To create a strong organization with strong relationships, regional groups meet regularly to discuss issues and challenges common to young people in the nonprofit sector and to broaden their networks. These meetings are open and free to all ncyt members. Currently, active chapters exist in Charlotte, the Triangle, and the Triad. If you are interested in attending active groups and/or helping to organize any new regional groups, contact the statewide office at orgnizer [at] ncyt.org or 919-360-2028 or one of the regional coordinators listed below.
