YABC
Youth Ambassadors for a Better Community
The Program
Founded in 2015, Youth Ambassadors for a Better Community (YABC) is a mission based youth leadership group. We started out on a mission to increase the quantity, quality, and sustainability of community gardens across the tri-county area, while instilling leadership, entrepreneurship, and social skills into our youth.
This program has grown tremendously and as a result we began serving our regional community in 2018 through expanded policy involvement and a new partnership with North Carolina State Universities Vacation Vittles Program.
