The Wake Forest Chamber Foundation for Common Progress has issued a challenge to chamber members and area residents to raise $5,000 in 30 days to support the Youth Leadership Wake Forest program and its adult counterpart, Leadership Wake Forest.
Your donation will go towards educational programming for 30 high school students participating in Youth Leadership, as well as support the philanthropic class project that the adult Leadership Wake Forest class undertakes. Both programs are fully funded and supported by the Wake Forest Chamber Foundation for Common Progress, a 501c3 charitable foundation which strives to provide educational opportunities for both adults and youth, focusing on leadership, health and wellness, financial literacy and diversity awareness.
