The Speak Out and Make NOYS Project Planning Kit was developed by ICAN Institute specifically for NOYS. The original program was pilot tested by 35 NOYS youth representatives from across the country. Their direction and feedback were foundational in producing this unique package. These youth conducted their own Speak Out and Make NOYS projects and have provided their success stories, personal advice, inspiring ideas, real life examples, and proven techniques to give you a project planning kit that is truly “Teen Tested and Approved.”
It has been our pleasure to work with the NOYS youth leadership team for over a year to develop and refine this kit. Thanks to all of you for your hard work, great ideas, and commitment to make a difference. You are truly Youth Changing the World.
