Our Emerging Leaders United affinity group asked local nonprofits to tell us what’s “Good For CNY” in the form of a big idea to help youth in our community (with a focus on literacy, STEM and the arts). We heard from many agencies with a ton of great ideas! But after great deliberation, five agencies have been chosen to take the stage and make their pitch for $10K.
