National Center for Youth Issues

We Help You Help All Kids. This is the tagline for National Center for Youth Issues and is a foundational principle of the work we do each day.

Each day, you are pouring into the lives of children, many of whom are going through struggles and challenges that make school important for many reasons in addition to the educational aspect. As an organization dedicated to equipping you to lead them well, we aim to be one of your favorite resources in those efforts.

At NCYI, we work to support Counselors, Student Service Professionals, Educators, and Parents on the path towards a more inclusive education system at national, state, and regional levels, and as part of everyday practice in schools, educational settings, professional development, and at home.

Our advocacy for inclusive education means that we work to create event and training experiences, as well as resources that support the work of education so that students can access and fully participate in learning alongside their peers, supported by reasonable adjustments and teaching strategies tailored to meet their individual needs.

We look forward to serving you and building relationship as you navigate these important years with students.

What Others are Saying

Everything I have purchased from you NCYI has been just what we have needed to turn our alternative program around from punitive consequences to coregulation, understanding our feelings, and restoring and building confidence! We have had huge success in the last three years after I found your resources! We are close to completely closing our alternative school and transition students to their base school with success.

I would recommend without reservation to any district/organization considering a partnership with NCYI! Whether NCYI is managing our Texas ASCA-affiliated conference (LSSSCA) or a local in-service event, the attention to detail, follow-up and support are consistently professional! NCYI understands school counselors and knows how to support District Supervisors like me. We simply tell tell them what we want, and they handle the rest! The NCYI Speaker’s Bureau is comprised of high quality thought leaders who are equipped to not only deliver a keynote, but are also skilled at delivering complete workshops!

…Our district was so pleased with the recent event NCYI helped us host. The speaker was absolutely fantastic – I have heard rave reviews from families, staff, and counselors all weekend. Thank you, as well for the fabulous book fair (Product Showcase), and for making last week possible. We appreciate you!
