The NAACP Education Committee strives to ensure that all students have access to an equal and high-quality education by eliminating education-related racial and ethnic disparities in our public schools.

The Holiday Social in the month of December is also organized by this committee which secures a venue for the event, develops the program agenda, engages a caterer, securing prizes for the Holiday Raffle and for door prizes and recruiting volunteers for speakers and other tasks associated with the event.
Legal Redress Committee
The NAACP Legal Redress Committee consists of committed members, supported by knowledgeable local citizens, working to address discrimination in all its forms and foster reconciliation within the community.
The Committee is responsible for:
- Investigating all reported cases
- Supervising litigation involving the Unit
- Keeping the National Office and the Branch informed on case progress (while refraining from providing general legal advice)
