Leading with purpose and walking alongside every student.
YOUTH ENGAGEMENTAt Made in Durham, we believe that every young person deserves the chance to succeed on their own terms.
Our Youth Engagement team supports students through tutoring, financial resources, and a strong sense of community that helps them stay focused and grounded. Each student’s path is different, and the team is there to walk alongside them through college, career, and beyond.
This work is rooted in confidence and care. Because progress begins with support.
This is only the beginning.
The video you just watched is part of “Made in Durham Explained,” a series that offers a closer look at how we do our work. It is about the policy work, advocacy, and partnerships that help create opportunities for young people in Durham. Every step we take together helps open the door to the next chapter for someone in our community, and that is what keeps us moving forward.
This is supportive work. We can change how Durham supports young people from education to employment, but it takes leadership, care, and commitment.
Let’s connect.
If you are part of a company, foundation, or philanthropic organization and are interested in exploring potential collaborations to make a positive impact in our community, we would love to hear from you.
