WELCOME to the NAACP!

Welcome to the Ozaukee County NAACP! We are so happy that you have joined our organization. As you may be aware, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization.  Founded in 1909, its mission is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of the rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.  We appreciate you joining and need your help in creating a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race.  

The heart of our organization is working within one of our standing committees.  We invite and need you to volunteer to join one or more of several standing committees of the branch to help meet our goals.   Please explore our website to review the current standing committees and CHOOSE how you want to contribute to the success of the organization.

We want to give you the tools of our organization that will make your volunteerism a fruitful and meaningful experience. Please see important links below to learn more about the NAACP and our Branch. You will be invited to our quarterly New Member Orientation soon. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or for further information.

We are looking forward to seeing you at our monthly Regular Membership Meeting held on the first Thursday of each month. An invitation to register will be included within our monthly member newsletter. Be sure not to miss this email as well as add our email address to your contacts list.
