Youth Asset Building
The Department of Youth Development encourages students to grow to their full potential by providing supportive relationships, meaningful opportunities, and access to services that help them graduate college, career and citizen ready..
Engaging Students
We work to engage students beyond the classroom by actively encouraging them to join clubs, activities, and organizations based on their interests. These organizations allow students to build on and highlight their strengths. We offer an array of choices from ultimate frisbee to chess to knitting! Learn more about Student Involvement at NNPS.

Teaching Social Responsibility
Providing opportunities and support for our students to become citizen-ready is a priority in NNPS. There are a number of clubs and organizations in each school with a primary focus on serving their school, local, national, and/or global communities.
Service learning experiences have also been embedded in classroom practice in our elementary schools and a partnership with the Youth Volunteer Corps of Hampton Roads provides a wealth of service opportunities for all of our students at the secondary level. Our students can take pride in their service to others and learn while making meaningful contributions to our community.
