Branch President Linda Foster stated, “The formation of the NAACP Youth Council is a significant accomplishment, as this is the first time in the history of the local Branch’s 103 years that we have chartered a Youth Council. Our young people are actively engaged is racial and social justice activities, so the timing was most opportune.”
The mission of the NAACP Youth Council is to inform the community about racial and social justice issues affecting African Americans, and other racial and ethnic minorities; to advance the education, economic, social and political status of African Americans, and other racial and ethnic minorities; to stimulate an appreciation of the African American Diaspora and to develop an intelligent, engaged and effective youth leadership platform where youth can thrive, while building meaningful relationships and making the world a better place for everyone.
