Community Service: Back to School with Nest Academy

Please join ACC Charlotte and Nelson Mullins to learn about Nest Academy in East Charlotte from its Head of School and Founder MC Hildreth.  The Nest Academy is a small, non-profit private school in Charlotte with a vision to change the lives of its refugee, Immigrant and under privileged students to become confident, educated, and successful first generation high school graduates.  The academy offers a tuition-free education to these refugees, immigrants and underprivileged youth, all from private funding, extending the children educational and extracurricular opportunities.
