Youth Council

Over 80 Years of Youth Leadership and Activism

The NAACP believes strongly that future leaders must be developed today, and such development is ongoing in the Youth & College Division, created in 1936. Today there are more than 25,000 young people, under the age of 25, representing 550  Junior Youth Councils, Youth Councils, High School Chapters, and College  Chapters actively involved in the fight for civil rights. The NAACP has one of the largest organized groups of young people of any secular organization in the country.


Mission

The mission of the NAACP Youth &  College Division shall be to inform youth of the problems affecting  African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities; to advance the economic, educational, social, and political status of African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities and their harmonious cooperation with other peoples; to stimulate an appreciation of the African Diaspora and other people of color’s contribution to civilization; and to develop intelligent, effective youth leadership.
 


Vision Statement

The vision of the National  Association for the Advancement of Colored People Youth and College  Division is 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.

For over 80 years, the NAACP Youth and College Division has been one of the largest organized groups of young people in any secular organization in the country. This Division has grown to have more than 25.000 young people, under the age of 25  actively involved in the fight for civil rights. The NAACP has over 550  Junior Youth Councils

Youth and College Issues

Students have always been at the forefront of most major social movements. From the Civil Rights Movement of the ’60s to the anti-apartheid movement of the 1980s, student activism has forced society and the world to change. NAACP youth units across America are engaged in social justice activism addressing issues at the local, state, and national level. The primary focus issues for the  Division are the following:

  • Voting Rights and Political Representation
  • Economic Sustainability
  • Education
  • Health
  • Juvenile Justice
