BEST for Kids
BEST (Brunswick Early Success Team) for Kids is a partnership between Brunswick County Schools, community leaders, and volunteers who are committed to helping all children become fluent readers by the end of the third grade. By providing sound tutoring, consistency, and positive relationships with students, volunteers can know they are investing their time in a program that will make a difference in all areas of students' lives.
Blue Ribbon Commission & Homeless Council
The Blue Ribbon Commission on the Prevention of Youth Violence (BRC) was formed in 2008 as an initiative under the United Way of the Cape Fear Area as a response to the prevalent violence among youth in the North side of downtown Wilmington at the time.
