“It is an amazing gift to have adults both young and old as mentors who volunteer through NCBI. They help facilitate the leadership trainings and workshops. I have attended two of the leadership trainings where the main focus is working to end the discrimination and bullying based on race, religion, gender and sexual orientation. I make it a priority to share with people the skills I have learned through the NCBI training and make a beautiful place for everyone. Thank you NCBI!”

NCBI Scholarship Fundraiser
Truly, our high school teams are at the very heart of our diversity and leadership training program and we are working everyday to keep these programs well resourced. In the past, fully 50% of our support has come from foundations. However the competition for these resources has soared in recent years and we recognize that to secure our programs we must rely more on the support of individual donors like you and less on foundations.
The most obvious place to start is our school and scholarship programs. Your financial support we will enable us to keep these programs going strong, offer generous scholarships to local high school students who have been trained in NCBI techniques towards college tuition, and invest in the advanced training of our staff and board members in diversity and leadership skills development through our NCBI national leadership institute.
“Please consider giving generously to our scholarship drive in support of our school programs and leadership trainings.”
Again from all of us at NCBI, thank you for your continued support of our programs and our next generation of leaders!
–Steven Goings,
