In June, 1991, youth leader, Kymo Barnes, 15 was accidentally shot and killed on a
Brooklyn street. Following this and several unfortunate incidents concerning our children, the N.S.P. Youth Council
was created, with it's primary goal, to allow youth to interact within other communities, with youth leaders, community
activists, and professional artists.
During it's first year, members were chosen, each representing different Brooklyn communities.
Bi-monthly meetings were held for the council members to discuss situations in each of their respective neighborhood areas.
The youth were given the opportunity to plan programs, youth conferences, and propose ideas which they felt was beneficial
towards the community.
Today, the Youth Council is now mandated for all of NSP members. Our youth meet each week
to discuss a variety of community issues, and share ideas under the leadership of NSP's Youth Directors. Ongoing and
long term projects includes our annual toy drive, summer camp, and continuous opportunities for our youth to advance in their
education, community, and social development.
