Mission Statement
The National Network for Youth is dedicated to ensuring that young people can be safe and lead healthy and productive lives.
Description
With more than 800 direct members and 1,500 constituents involved in its regional and state networks, the National Network informs public policy, educates the public and strengthens the field of youth work. In doing so, young people are championed, especially those who because of life circumstance, disadvantage, past abuse and community prejudice have less opportunity to become contributing members of their communities. Each year more than two million youth and families are served by National Network member agencies. In all programs, the National Network emphasizes youth and adults working together to improve conditions for young people.
