“The Hillsborough Youth Collaborative brings together such a diverse group of young people to improve the lives of children and families. The HYC has certainly impacted my life – it is one of the most meaningful programs I have ever been a part of. I hope that to see our dedicated group grow and expand, and start new projects that will foster a true intergenerational connection throughout Hillsborough County.”
