Get Involved
The North Carolina Local News Lab Fund is always looking for people to support and inform our growing work. We deeply believe that the Fund will be more effective and have a more profound, long-lasting impact on North Carolina if our strategy is guided by the lived expertise and experience of community members—people who are at the heart of our vision.
