Young Allies of the River (YAR) is a community of 20 and 30-somethings who share a vision of clean, plentiful waterways now and for future generations. Together, we are improving the quality of our rivers, lakes, and streams.
YAR events are fun, engaging opportunities to get together with other young people who support the Catawba Riverkeeper.
