Our mission is to inspire the next generation of low income individuals to strive for academic excellence and leadership in the Southeastern counties of North Carolina. We strongly believe that behind every leader there is a strong support system and we strive to be that guiding force in our local communities. We are dedicated to serving Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover and Pender Counties through our "Village for Scholars" STEAM Initiative along with our Project Lead Economic Development Summit.
