The Nevada Young Activist Project (NYAP) has been a program of PLAN since 2002.
It was developed as part of PLAN’s commitment to nurturing and supporting the lead-
ership development of our state’s youth. NYAP’s vision is to aid the development of an
educated and respected youth community that works towards the goals of social justice,
willingly takes action and is able to achieve positive changes in our community in order to
create accessible pathways to engage the democratic process and to reverse underrepresentation of their communities.

successfully takes direct action within the progressive movement
- Develop and nurture a base of able and non-able voters that share our values/goals/
vision and can effectively mobilize them during the electoral cycle
- Deepen young people's commitment to civic engagement through voter registration and "Get Out the Vote" activities
