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
APPLY FOR AWARDS
The NAACP Youth & College Division's Annual National Convention Awards are given to Individuals, Youth Units, Advisors and State Youth & College Divisions who have displayed exemplary dedication and commitment to the NAACP. As contributors to the fight for equity, political rights and social inclusion we understand that this work is voluntary and requires sacrifice, energy, and thus we pause to celebrate each other for the effort, commitment, and victories.
