NAACP's Grassroots Network
The NAACP Regional Offices are located in California, New York, Michigan,
Missouri, Georgia, Texas, and Maryland. Each regional office serves
as a mentor to states in that region. They provide guidance with regard
to the Association's policy, procedure and civil rights agenda. Every
local Unit chartered in a particular state works closely with the State
Conference arm of the NAACP. The NAACP units can be found in any of
the seven regions, each with a staff of volunteers to address the needs
of the community and the membership. Currently, there are approximately
2,200 adult branches and 1,700 youth and college chapters.
