Center for Native American Youth

Founded in 2011, the Center for Native American Youth (CNAY) at the Aspen Institute is a national education and advocacy organization that works alongside Native youth — ages 24 and under — on reservations, in rural villages and urban spaces across the country to improve their health, safety and overall well-being.All Native youth deserve to lead full and healthy lives, have equal access to opportunity, draw strength from their culture and inspire one another. At CNAY, we uplift youth through cross-sector, culturally-immersive programming that incorporates Indigenous knowledge systems, leadership training, and youth-led policy agenda and narratives.
