Empowering the Future: North American Young Generation in Nuclear
Inspiring Today's Professionals to Meet Tomorrow's Challenges
North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN) is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization that provides opportunities for a young generation of nuclear enthusiasts to develop strong leadership and professional skills, create lifelong connections, engage and inform the public, and inspire today’s nuclear technology professionals to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
NAYGN was established in 1999 and now consists of 150+ chapters across North America.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commitment
Diversity and inclusion are at the core of NAYGN’s mission and values. As an organization, we are committed to ensuring an equitable, authentic, and inclusive culture for our members and the nuclear industry. We will focus on growing our relationships with diverse groups while simultaneously building trust, growth, and creativity across all chapters. NAYGN will continue to learn about and celebrate our members’ differences to foster a positive environment. NAYGN actively seeks and welcomes the participation of underrepresented or marginalized groups including but not limited to: women, persons of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, persons of all ages, persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, and other communities.
How can we impact the nuclear industry?
NAYGN’s mission is to develop leaders to energize the future of nuclear. We provide our members opportunities to focus their energy towards improving the nuclear industry and communicating with the public about the benefits of nuclear energy.
We don’t do this alone. NAYGN is a network spanning thousands of young nuclear professionals in North America, each doing their part to make our industry better. As a grassroots volunteer organization, NAYGN members decide and develop the content that NAYGN brings.
