Next Generation Leadership

We invest in rising Black leaders by equipping youth and young adults with the tools, mentorship, and platforms to lead impactful change in their communities and beyond.

WHY IT MATTERS

Our future depends on the power and potential of the next generation. The NAACP is committed to nurturing Black youth and young adults through education, activism, and civic engagement. From high school to college campuses and into professional life, we provide mentorship, leadership development, and a network of support that empowers them to become bold, strategic agents of change. Through programs like ACTSO and Youth and College chapters, we create space for young voices to be heard and lead. This is more than preparation. It is about positioning the next generation to shape policy, challenge injustice, and reimagine what is possible. Join us in building tomorrow’s leaders today.
