YOUth ARE THE CHANGE.
In Transylvania County, we value our kids just as much as we value our abundant natural resources and unique cultural opportunities. We applaud their sense of purpose and their right to grow up in a safe, healthy place full of opportunities to contribute. We encourage youth empowerment!

Above the Influence
There might come a point when you ask yourself, who am I really? Am I being real? Am I still the kid my parents think I am? And more importantly, who do I want to be? The truth is, you’re a lot of things to a lot of people – you’re interesting like that. You can be one thing online and still be kind of different in person. You can be someone to look up to, and know what it feels like to get rejected. You can be righteous in your decisions and still slip up and make mistakes. But, with so many versions of yourself, it’s easy to forget the one thing that keeps you real – the pure-grade, original first edition of yourself.
