North Carolina Needs Student Activists!

For 25 years, Democracy NC has empowered young activists to drive significant change across North Carolina.

As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Democracy Summer, we're excited to welcome 21 dynamic "Friendterns" to our transformative nine-week internship program.

Your donation makes Democracy Summer possible.

Democracy Summer isn't just about participation; it's a deep dive into organizing strategy, public speaking, and leadership development – just in time for the 2024 General Election!

Will you help us support our next class of "Friendterns"?

Together, we can ensure that the next generation of leaders is ready to face the challenges of their times, prepared with the knowledge, skills, and passion to make a difference.

Your gift is more than a donation; it is an investment in the next generation of community leadership.

Thank you for your continued support and for believing in our "Friendterns"!
