Participants in the CFYSLP improve their self-efficacy, self-knowledge, and leadership abilities through information sharing and relationship building in service-based learning opportunities on campus and in the Raleigh and greater community. Students meet weekly over two semesters beginning in the spring of their first year as NC State students. The program is geared toward but not limited or exclusive to historically underrepresented groups, first-generation college students, and students who may not otherwise self-identify as leaders. The application period has closed for 2015 but will re-open in fall 2015.
