Mission Statement

Empowerment Through Social Action
The Nobis Project is a non-profit organization that supports youth, educational and community leaders in building skills to analyze issues that impact our society and take actions towards initiating positive change. The Nobis Project creates life-long learners who are empowered to improve lives and communities, locally and abroad.

 
Vision Statement
We believe
  • Informed social action leads to improved lives and communities
  • Empowerment of individuals and communities occurs when they are challenged to meet the needs of society in innovative and meaningful ways
  • Experiencing a sense of empowerment leads to lasting positive change in both the individual and society
  • Every community depends on an interconnected network of communities around the globe
