The organization keeps us abreast with everything that has an influence in our lives as people of color. The organization presents notable political figures & media, making communities more involved and less apathetic. Civil rights and social justice affects us all. You are never too young or old to have a voice and to participate in the NAACP. You are never too far and your problems are never too broad or distinct to be positively affected by the NAACP. The NAACP has a strong commitment to the community, health issues, economics, and education. The NAACP truly empowers not only African-Americans but all people of color. I was a student ambassador for ACT-SO, an NAACP program which allowed us to recruit and encourage African-American students to utilize their academic and artistic skills to gain recognition and scholarships. With ACT-SO, high school students develop individually and their academic and artistic achievements are celebrated. ACT-SO helps African-American youth and showed me how endless my opportunities really are - as endless as I make them. Programs like ACT-SO are the products of the drive and ambition of NAACP leaders and members to enhance our communities.<br><b>References : </b><br> NAACPThe National Association for the Advancement of Colored People offers support and guidance to African-Americans.
