Kinston, NC

2020 is and will be remembered as one of the most transformative years in our lifetimes. Between a deadly virus pandemic, the decennial census, a major election, and global unrest around the extrajudicial killings of black people, we find it more than necessary for our organization and partners like NC FIELD to be on the frontlines empowering youth in our community with the tools, skills and resources to lead on these issues. NC FIELD is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Lenoir County that works with migrant and seasonal farmworker youth and families utilizing grassroots organizing principles to teach leadership, promote education and facilitate opportunities. Our collective work will include empowering and supporting youth in various forms of action, from protests and policymaking, to voter registration and activation.
