At NVEEE, we lead with empathy and emotional intelligence
Because that’s how real change begins.

Empathy is not weakness, it’s power. Combined with education, courage, and community action, it becomes the force that equips youth to create real change. Donate today to help young leaders build the inclusive, emotionally intelligent world we all deserve.

Who We Are

We are a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing bullying, suicide, and violence in youth, families, and communities, through direct service, mentoring, and prevention education.

We create safe, inclusive spaces where youth lead with empathy, embrace their individuality, and become changemakers.
Through programs like PALP, PALS, and AFFIRM, we equip young people from all backgrounds with tools that help them grow academically, emotionally, and socially. At NVEEE, diversity is our strength, inclusion is non-negotiable, and every young person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.

Our Programs

Our programs give you the tools to lead with confidence, connect with your community, and create meaningful change.

Whether you’re exploring your strengths, building new skills, or stepping into leadership, we’re here to guide you every step of the way through hands-on support, and real-world experiences.

Where Our Ambassadors Come From:
A National Network of Schools

Peace Ambassador Leadership Program (PALP)

A 10-month leadership and college prep program where you'll develop essential life skills and complete meaningful community service projects. You'll gain hands-on experience in public speaking, conflict resolution, and project management. You'll be prepared to lead with purpose and create real change in your community.

Peace Ambassador Leadership Summit (PALS)

A week-long immersive college campus experience where you’ll focus on leadership, college readiness, and life skills. You’ll take part in interactive workshops, connect with mentors, and make new friends. You'll also grow into a confident leader and change-maker.

College Internship Program

A year-round experiential learning opportunity where you’ll gain hands-on experience in marketing, program development, and nonprofit work. You’ll build real-world skills, contribute to meaningful projects, and make a positive impact. Academic credit is available.

AFFIRM

Affirm is a safe, supportive space where you can build confidence, strengthen your voice, and connect with others in the LGBTQ+ community. Through mentorship and projects, you’ll gain tools to become an advocate for yourself and others while fostering belonging and leadership.

Alumni Testimonials

We know fake reviews are everywhere, but not here. Every testimonial you’ll read is 100% real, verified, and collected directly from students, parents, and community partners who have experienced our programs firsthand. Whether it was through PALS, PALP, or AFFIRM, these stories reflect the genuine impact our programs have on real lives.

From finding their voice to leading service projects and transforming challenges into growth, our alumni are living proof that leadership, empathy, and education go hand-in-hand. Don’t just take our word for it, see how we helped them turn dreams into action.

I went to PALS in 2022 and it was one of the best experiences in my life. I was able to open up and connect with other kids like myself and so learned valuable information about the college application process and mental wellness values. I feel more in tune with myself as an individual and as a leader.

NVEEE has changed my life. […] I wouldn’t be half the leader I am today if it wasn’t for individuals like Jowharah, Grisel, Yakira, Dayliset and Ephraim who were willing to nurture me along the way. If you are looking to discover who you are as a person, help others in need or even meet other students who share the same interests as you while having fun, give NVEEE a try, you won’t regret it.

I will always thank NVEEE for helping me become the person I am today. All the leadership skills and compassion that I have today is because of this organization. Nothing compares to working with so many young adults trying to make a difference in the world.

Need a reason to get out of the house this summer?
PALS is your chance to spend a week on a college campus, meet new friends, and do something that actually feels worth your time.

You’ll join other high school students from across the state for real conversations, fun workshops, and hands-on projects that make a difference. And yes, you’ll walk away with 50+ community service hours without even realizing you were working for them. This isn’t just about leadership or college apps (though we’ve got you covered there too). It’s about showing up, finding your people, and proving to yourself that you can lead in your own way.

Community Service Projects

Through our Peace Ambassador Leadership Program (PALP), students take on impactful six-month capstone service projects, dedicating significant time and effort to create meaningful change in their communities. From brainstorming to completion, they are guided through each step, developing leadership, execution, and project management skills. The dedication most students invest in these projects also qualifies them for the prestigious President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA)
