ABOUT NAACP YOUTH & COLLEGE
OUR VOICE, OUR VISION
We want to ensure a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race by developing a new generation of civil rights and community leaders.
We aim to:
-
Inform youth of the problems affecting African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities
-
Advance the economic, educational, social, and political status of African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities, and their harmonious cooperation with other peoples
-
Stimulate an appreciation of the African Diaspora and other people of color's contribution to civilization
-
Develop an intelligent, effective youth leadership
WHICH MEMBERSHIP WORKS FOR YOU?
-
Junior Youth Council
For our youngest activists, junior youth councils are for youth under the age of 13. These local councils provide interactive and entertaining instruction on the history of Africans in the Diaspora.
-
Youth Council
Part of our local units, youth councils provide training and leadership development for young adults under the age of 25.
-
High School Chapters
High schools across the country have NAACP chapters for their students, offering training and leadership development necessary for mobilization and community education. Check with your school's administration to see if a chapter exists.
-
College Chapters
Colleges are often incubators of political thought for up-and-coming leaders. NAACP college chapters provide training and fine-tune leadership skills to support an increased level of social and political activism. Check with your institution's administration to see if a chapter exists or find your local adult chapter to start one.
