NCACDC, in partnership with Democracy North Carolina and the Rocky Mount OIC, hosted a Community Summit

in Rocky Mount on Saturday, April 21, 2018. The Summit featured dynamic inter-generational panel discussions

by local community leaders on issues such as gun violence, educational equity and neighborhood improvement

concerns. The Community Summit agenda brought together community-based neighborhood leaders,

representatives of service delivery organizations, local agency personnel, faith-based institutions and other

interested parties, including youth students from schools in Rocky Mount who participated in both panels to

voice their concerns  about issues impacting their neighborhoods and their perspectives on solutions to fix

these problems.
