About the Conference

The Spring Grassroots Leadership Academy Conference is designed to empower emerging and established leaders with the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to create meaningful change in their communities. This two-day conference will feature interactive workshops, program sharing, thought-provoking panel discussions, and valuable opportunities to network with fellow community leaders and practitioners.

Through this event, we seek to engage former Leadership Academy participants from York County (South Carolina) and Craven, Jones, and Cumberland counties (North Carolina), as well as grassroots and nonprofit leaders, government personnel, and service providers who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities.

The event is being hosted by the Filling Station, Intentional Excellence, Jones County Government, and Cooperative Extension at N.C. A&T.
