By walking here tonight to help raise awareness, they come to understand that a small amount of effort can make a real difference."

Special thanks to Lea-Ann W. Berst at Sleddogg Marketing for inviting us to join this effort and to Lorena Price at Holy Cow Branding and Jan Delory at Sales Vantage Point for agreeing to continue to serve as mentors and role models for NC Connected's students.

NC Connected, Inc. is a non-profit organization created to improve the educational, personal, and professional options available to girls ages 10 to 17. Our programs encourage and motivate girls to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to become successful internet programmers, social media experts, and leaders.

Our girls receive hands-on technical training in web design, digital photography, graphic design, social media marketing, video editing, and internet programming. They also receive soft-skills training in workforce preparedness, public speaking, conflict resolution, gang awareness, pregnancy prevention, and other life skills.

Students at 2009 Light the Night Walk

Because we believe in providing exposure to positive role models, our girls are given many opportunities to network with successful women across the state through field trips, community service projects, and sponsored mentored outings.

Learn about our organization and how you can contribute to a girl’s life by donating, participating, and volunteering in NC Connected programs and events.

Although my cameo appearance lasted only 4 seconds, I am tremendously proud to have been a part of this effort to reach our kids in a positive way. Major props to Christopher “Play” Martin, Cisco Black Employees Network, and Whyte Colla for the long hours and hard work.

You can read more about this effort at the “Get Yourz” website.

NC Connected will be on hand with several students to offer training in basic web design to interested teens.

We are excited about the work that is being done to bring internet access to the Chavis Heights community.  We believe that internet technologies are key to providing a way out of poverty. NC Connected looks forward to extending our work into the Chavis Heights community and being a part of the ongoing efforts to bridge the digital divide.
