YOUTH COUNCIL
Joining the NAACP means so much more than membership within an organization: you are becoming a part of a community. Youth members are some of the most active supporters in our ongoing efforts to protect, defend, and fight for civil rights.
ACT-SO
The NAACP’s Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) is a yearlong achievement program designed to recruit, stimulate, and encourage high academic and cultural achievement among African-American high school students.
when youth rise, they transform
As the bloodline of the NAACP, we look to you to give the association the fire, fuel, and motivation to keep advancing through the trials of being a person of color in America.
Core objectives
NAACP youth units across the country engage in social justice activism, addressing issues at the local, state and national level, with a primary focus on education, economic development, health, juvenile justice and voter empowerment.
