"There's no such thing as a life that's better than yours." This is a lesson we teach our youth and young adults, and one we hope to share with the Charlotte community. 💙

Circumstances are only temporary. Today's crisis is not tomorrow's promise. We in every young person who walks through our doors. Their story is still being written, and we're dedicated to being part of their support system along the way because that's what family does. That's what The Relatives do.

This , we're proud to celebrate Shepard Peterson for an outstanding summer of service at The Relatives.

As a rising senior at UNC Chapel Hill, Shepard brought commitment, professionalism, and a passion for helping others to every project she supported. Her time with us this summer left a lasting impact, and we're incredibly grateful for her contributions.

Thank you, Shepard, for spending your summer serving our mission and supporting the young people we walk alongside every day. We can't wait to see all you'll achieve in the nonprofit sector and beyond. 💙
