Thirty+ years after its inception, NSYS continues to
be present in mind, body and spirit amongst those who followed. Having
pioneered the YMCA Juvenile
Diversion program, NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH and a variety
of models of community-youth development, this association of people
continues to expand and discover new ways of
influencing the future. The
individuals who provided staff and volunteer leadership for NSYS continue to share a special life-long bond. . . .
One forged from an unshakable understanding that young people
are always worth it. Their dedication and commitment was only surpassed by their
determination to create the kind of community that serves the future and
where change sticks.
Although NSYS no longer exists in reality, staff and volunteers have
gone on to fulfill a number of leadership roles at
local, provincial, national and international levels - this in a cross-section of
business, education, media, political and volunteer sector endeavours. In their own ways, NSYS founders continue to
build just communities wherever they go.
Visit the "Then & Now"
page to see what these same people are up to - today.
The legacy of NSYS is the indomitable spirit of people
who believed in themselves, each-other and the unlimited
potential in human-kind to shape the futures in which they live -
empowering the self to do what it believes.... next
