Quote about NCSL:

“NCSL provides college students the opportunity to feel like they are benefiting the great state of North Carolina. We are able to apply what our studies are teaching us and put it towards writing legislation and how we can help others grow alongside us in leadership, public speaking and writing. I am grateful for the leadership experiences I have been provided through NCSL, and I can take what I have learned and apply it to the workplace.”
