Debbie Ching has been a dedicated supporter of the NCI program.  She graciously donates her time and expertise on non-profits and leadership to conduct workshops about time management, finance, team building, and communication.  Debbie expresses why she thinks NCI is important: 

"As a volunteer trainer for the NCI program since 2003, I am continually impressed with the interest of the interns as we talk about issues of culture, identity, organizations and community. NCI has been a highly successful program in engaging Japanese American college students in their cultural community. The success and impact of the NCI program is evident in the alumni, many of whom have chosen careers in community service or are employed with Japanese American organization or continue to volunteer with community organizations. Many confirm that they would not have made those choices had the NCI experience not exposed them to a community of their heart."
