TODAY co-host, Craig Melvin, visited N4 during our November 2022 Field Exchange between University Heights High School in the Bronx, New York and Floyd Central High School in Langley, Kentucky. These students took part in the year-long, N4 Field Exchange, coming together in person for the first time for a week of activities aimed at fostering connection and understanding.
Craig spoke with N4 Co-founder and President, author Colum McCann, who explained the benefit of the Story Exchange, “When you can carefully shepherd someone else’s story, that’s when you can change the world for the better.”
Wrapping up his report with high praise for N4, Craig said, “It should be in every high school…It’s genius.” Thank you Craig and the whole TODAY team!
