Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

Our Vision
The Vision of National Center for Youth Issues

The National Center for Youth Issues aspires to be the leading provider of character-building resources in America and to become a national clearinghouse of information on character development issues for children and youth.

To accomplish this goal, we will:

  • Remain a premier provider of character-building tools and resources which we will aggressively promote to schools and youth agencies because they consistently impact the largest number of children and youth
  • Identify character issues and relevant resources while considering the cultural diversity of our nation
  • Develop strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations and recognized authorities on youth culture and character development
  • Utilize electronic and print media to disseminate relevant information and respond to character related events and issues
  • Actively participate in, promote and conduct regional and national conferences
  • Invest in employee professional development and personal growth
  • Maintain the highest standard of professional business conduct, ethics and accountability
