Network for Integrated Youth Action

Organization Description: 

NIYA was started by a group of 5 visionary, young people who recognized the need for young people to actively participate in their personal development and in the development of their communities. Since 2008 NIYA has established itself as a growing organization
that is dedicated to encouraging young people to believe in themselves and their ability to make a difference in the world. We seek to create environments where people are exposed to new thinking, a diversity of voices, and opportunities to influence community development. We strongly believe in the ability of the youth to effect change in their society. We understand the need for a stronger voice and for greater participation in local and global development activities. Driven by youth, mission of NYA is to provide the enabling environment for the youth to explore their inner energies and talents to drive change in their communities.
