Wildacres Leadership Initiative trains, supports, and convenes a statewide network of leaders to take courageous action on North Carolina’s most pressing issues through civil dialogue and by engaging across differences to improve the lives of all North Carolinians. Our mission is to build individual and collective leadership that creates cultures of collaboration throughout the state. Our flagship program is the William C. Friday Fellowship for Human Relations. Both the direct goal and natural outgrowth of our work is to build relationships across lines of difference.
We extend our heartfelt support to the communities impacted by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina. We'll continue to share resources for nonprofits and how to help.
