NULITES

• The National Urban League Incentives to Excel & Succeed (NULITES) is a nationwide youth initiative.

• 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 and youth embracing the Seven Principals of NULITES.

• NULITES began in the fall of 1989 and is designed to reflect the positive aspects of youth in today’s society and provide opportunities for personal and leadership development.

• NULITES chapters are sponsored by local Urban League affiliates and have their own youth officers who develop, implement and execute activities with guidance from adult advisors.

• The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis’ chapter was founded in 2006.
