On June 7, the United Way Board voted to support CCT with $172,250 funding for FY19.? These are important investments in our organization,?and will help us improve the economic mobility opportunities of our clients and families.?

Meet Our Interns?

Corrina Bost (L)?
I am in my fourth year at Appalachian State University. After this summer, I’ll have my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Anthropology.

I am an aunt to three nephews and a sister to two brothers, three sisters, two brothers-in-law, and a sister-in-law. I enjoy cooking, reading, running, and watching any episode of ‘The Office’ or ‘The Walking Dead.’

My favorite movie is ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.’ I enjoy doing hair, nails, and most things cosmetology-related!
