18 minutes. Real connections. Real impact. ⏱️

What could’ve been just a quick event turned into something powerful for our Corps Members here at City Year Little Rock; conversations that opened doors, built confidence, and planted seeds for what’s next.

Big thank you to our Alumni Committee and staff for the intentionality, planning, and heart you put into this. It showed in every interaction.

And to our external partners, thank you for showing up, leaning in, and investing in our young leaders. You helped turn 18 minutes into something that will last far beyond today.
