Mission
The Neshoba Youth Coalition Leadership Program focused on building organizational infrastructure to support long-term youth development initiatives, including the development of a Forest Management workforce pipeline project and a statewide ACT Boot Camp initiative. The organization also began designing a summer youth mentoring program for grades K-6 in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and launched a youth reading club. During 2025, the organization focused on documenting program outcomes, strengthening its ABC Model of Community Building (Attitude, Behavior, and Conditions), and preparing for statewide scaling of its youth leadership and education initiatives in 2026.
