“Our State, Our Work” Steering Committee
Carolina Across 100’s first program, called “Our State, Our Work: Connecting Young Adults to their Futures,” is guided by a 12-member steering committee. These individuals represent a wide range of sectors relevant to this work. Their diverse expertise not only informs the programming, but also helps identify needed resources and partnerships and facilitate connections that can support the Carolina Across 100 team and the community collaboratives.
