Our 2025 Theme: Planting Seeds

The 2025 NCCEP / GEAR UP Annual Conference will highlight the strength of working together to plant seeds for the future.

Within every seed lies the promise of transformation—a bridge from today’s dreams to tomorrow’s realities. A seed represents hope, resilience, and how small everyday actions can create monumental change.

This conference is a reminder that our work is strongest when rooted in community. Together, we plant, nurture, and grow a future where opportunity is within reach for all.
