The National Registration Program was created to facilitate a nationwide registration of youth organizations and youth serving institutions. Through this, the National Youth Commission links up with the youth and is able to facilitate a more active participation in its programs.
The NRP plans to produce a youth directory and the possibility of enlisting all youth organizations and youth serving institutions nationwide. Presently, the program continues its ground working through tie-up with other NYC activities.
