Our tag line: “Youth Saving Youth” describes our belief that all NOYS programs addressing youth health and safety are coordinated with youth leading the way.   Youth respond positively to role models no t only among adults, but also to peers with whom they interact.  The continuum begins with inclusive adults who listen and value the contribution of young people as responsible citizens in our society and leads to young people who embrace that responsibility and bring others on board to make a difference. NOYS youth designed programs serve as focus-groups or focus-group leaders on cutting-edge issues, speak on issues and promote programs at conferences, meetings, and for media outlets, as well as provide leadership within the coalition. The NOYS diversity in rural/urban, youth/adult, and culture/ethnicity demonstrates the coalition’s extensive expertise, commitment, vision, and progra ming.
