Commending the NAC Save Our Youth Foundation, Inc.
Senate Joint Resolution 115 is a commendatory resolution recognizing the NAC Save Our Youth Foundation, Inc. on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. The resolution recounts the organization’s founding in 2005 by members of the Norfolk Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., and highlights its work in South Hampton Roads through scholarships, educational support, youth mentoring, leadership development, and civic engagement.
The resolution also notes that the foundation has awarded more than $250,000 in scholarships and grants since its creation and operates entirely with volunteers and no salaried staff. It further acknowledges the foundation’s close relationship with the Norfolk Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi and references the organization’s 2025 Scholarship and Awards Black Tie Gala in Chesapeake as part of its anniversary celebration.
SJ115 does not change state law or create new statutory requirements. Its effect is ceremonial: it formally expresses the General Assembly’s appreciation for the NAC Save Our Youth Foundation, Inc. and directs the Clerk of the Senate to present a copy of the resolution to the organization. The resolution primarily affects the named nonprofit and serves as an official legislative commendation of its charitable, educational, and civic service in South Hampton Roads.
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is uniformly positive and celebratory. The bill was agreed to by both chambers, and the text emphasizes the foundation’s long-standing community service, volunteer-driven operations, scholarship support, and positive impact on youth and families. There is no indication of opposition or controversy in the available record.
There is no notable contention reflected in the bill text, voting history, or available committee materials. Because the measure is a nonbinding commendation rather than a policy bill, it does not present substantive policy disputes, fiscal concerns, or stakeholder conflicts. The only substantive focus is recognition of the organization’s achievements and community contributions.
