Innovation and growth require nimble strategies. With a focus on innovation and impact, we embrace a bold new vision for our next chapter. 

We are launching C-HOPE, our new Centers of Innovation: 

  • Center for Health Equity;
  • Center for Opportunity, Race, and Justice;
  • Center for Education Innovation; and
  • Center for Environmental and Climate Justice.

 Each Center brings together NAACP experts: issue-area leads, policy, lobbyists, communications, researchers, and state advocates to implement our ambitious goals. 

 


 Learn more about each Center, our advocacy model, and how this will guide the NAACP's work moving forward.

How are you planning to show up and show out this year?
