Community Program- Equity Ambassador Program
Our organization continues to grow year over year. Since our inception, our volunteer Queen City Unity Ambassador base has grown by over 200% which has enabled us to broaden our impact as well. Every day our impact is felt throughout the city of Charlotte due to their hard work and dedication to create an equal and equitable Charlotte for all.

What's next?
During these divisive times it is critical that we unite against racism. It is our goal to continue to positively impact young people through the Equity Ambassador Program . In 2020 we have also made it a priority to financially support other grassroots organizations on the ground and with volunteer capital.
It is going to take a collective effort for us to achieve the change that we all desire and to put an end to the lingering effects of segregation and racism in our society.
We ask that you please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Queen City Unity and help fuel our vision for an equal and equitable Charlotte for all. Your donation will directly impact the scholars of the Equity Ambassador Program and help provide families with much needed resources that they currently lack in their inequitable communities. Thank you for your ongoing support, Charlotte.
