What is NCYEI?
North Columbia Youth Empowerment Initiative (NCYEI) is a movement focused on creating a community where youth can thrive. Founded in 2018, we are driven by diverse community partners working together toward a common goal of infusing resources, building relationships and lifting up local leaders and their vision for positive change.
Our movement is driven by our love of community, our love for our residents, and our commitment to advocate and ignite change for safer outcomes for all.
