Our new t-shirt celebrates the history of the National Inspirational Youth Convention as researched and written by the late Rev. Dr. Diana L. Cook-Swoope in Shout Jubilee! 50 Years Touching the Lives of Youth, a historical overview of the National Inspirational Youth Convention.

Need a ride to the convention? We've secured two charter buses with nonstop roundtrip travel to/from New Orleans. One bus will leave from Indianapolis and the other from Chicago. Seats are available on a first come, first serve basis. Tickets are only $260. For more information, visit niyc.org/travel .

The council is taking a comprehensive approach towards evaluating the needs which includes the distribution of two surveys.
