What is NCYE?

Founded in 2017, NCYE is run entirely by young volunteers between the ages of 10 and 30. We’ve completed over a dozen projects since our founding — from installing clean water filtration systems at schools in rural Sri Lanka, to running food and clothing drives for families across central North Carolina. Every project is led by members and funded through community fundraising.
