Student Connection
Nothing happens until someone does something." Steve Farke, Leadership Guru
HAUL will use the principles of NULITES - The National Urban League Incentives to Excel & Succeed, a nationwide youth initiative to help bring about the necessary change to create a College Readiness culture within the Jones and Worthing High Schools.
NULITES was launched in 1989, and is the longest ongoing National Urbal LEague youth initiative. Founded on the premise that younge people are our most valuable resource, NULITES is designed to reflect he positive aspects of youth in today's society while providing opportunities for personal and leadership development.
For students of Jones H.S. or Worthing H.S to participate in NULITES, they must belong to a NULITES chapter. NULITES chapters are sponsored by local Urbal League affiliates and have their own youth officers who develop, implement, and execute activities with guidance from adult advisors. There are currently 57 official NULITES chapters in 26 states, including the District of Columbia.
The main purpose of NULITES is to propmote 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. Through NULITES, the Urban League is able to carry out a vital component of the Campaign for African American Achievement, which is to provide caring and supportive adults in the lives of our urban youths who are in need of support.
Participating youths are asked to uphold the seven NULITES principles, which were created to teach young people the attirbutes that engender success. NULITES principles reinforce the positive development of youth, as well as encompass all levels of the human experience.
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, others, and myself.
CARE for the world's people and environment.
PROMOTE a universal spirit of cooperation and peace.
NULITES Program Goals
The principles of NULITES are reinforced and implemented through set goals. Participation in a NULITES chapter should provide urban youth from culturally diverse
backgrounds with:
- Opportunities for their academic, personal, and social development
- Assist young people in developing long-term goals and strategies to fulfill them, which will lead to productive adult life experiences.
- Groom future leaders by developing communication and decision-making skills as well as civic responsibility
- Involve youth in active and sustained community service projects, which they develop and execute themselves, to improve the conditions of their neighborhoods
NULITES students, particularly those who attend Jones High School or Worthing High School, participate in weekly or monthly activities that develop leadership skills, college readiness, community service, tutoring/mentoring sessions, civic engagement and social, behavioral, and etiquette skills.
