About NOYS

Vision of NOYS : Our vision is to be the premier national youth health and safety coalition.

Mission of NOYS :  Our mission is to promote youth empowerment and leadership and build partnerships that will save lives, prevent injuries, and promote safe and healthy lifestyles among all youth.

NOYS STRUCTURE

NOYS is a collaboration of over 70 national, youth-serving organizations, including non-profit organizations, business and industry leaders, and government agencies, with the common goal of promoting safe and healthy behaviors among our nation's youth. The coalition meets in a round table forum approximately 2-3 times per year.

 

NOYS is governed by a rotating Board of Directors of up to 21 members with a minimum of up to four youth representatives sitting on the Board. The Board of Directors is the governing committee of NOYS, and has sub-committees on programs, communications, and membership. There are, however,  other committees that may be formed on an ad-hock basis to address issues such as fundraising, special initiatives, and other items of business that may arise.
