connecting with a professional organization of educators committed to YOUTH,
EDUCATION, and SERVICE.

In the organization’s commitment to youth, a component of NSPDK’s student
outreach is the Xinos and Kudos. Throughout the year, members meet with
these high school students in grades 9 -12 (male and female) providing
academic and career guidance, personal development, college tours, service
projects, book awards and scholarships. Annually, the Xinos and Kudos
participate in a Youth Leadership Conference where they are recognized for
their academic excellence, oratorical, talent, art, science and writing skills.
