What Is NULITES?
NULITES is the National Urban League Incentives To Excel &
Succeed nationwide youth initiative. Launched in 1989, it is the
longest ongoing National Urban League youth initiative. Founded
on the premise that young people are our most valuable resource,
NULITES is designed to reflect the positive aspects of youth in
today's society while providing opportunities for personal and
leadership development.
The main purpose of NULITES is to
promote and maintain high standards of well being, educational,
character and leadership qualities. This is accomplished through
its program goals, structure and required educational seminars
and community service projects.
NULITES participate in activities
that develop leadership skills, have access to
tutoring/mentoring, and participate in community activities that
encourage civic engagement.
Participating youths are asked to
uphold the seven NULITES principles, which were created to teach
young people the attributes that engender success.
NULITES PRINCIPLES:
STRIVE for excellence at home,
school and in my community.
WORK within my neighborhood to
further its development.
RESPECT my mind and body as well
as the mind and bodies of others.
CELEBRATE my heritage and culture
as well as those of others.
CREATE a better future for my
family, other people and myself.
CARE for the world's people and
environment.
PROMOTE a universal spirit of
cooperation and peace.
