August 12 is International Youth Day, and Cultural Survival is pleased to announce our first cohort of 2024 Indigenous Youth Fellows as part of our Capacity Building Program. Our Indigenous Youth Fellowship supports young Indigenous leaders between the ages of 18-28 who are working to transform their communities and create opportunities for the elevation, defense, and strengthening of their cultures and traditional knowledge practices while developing their leadership, organizational, and project management skills. Since 2018, we have awarded 137 fellowships supporting 305 fellows.
The fellowship projects focus on language revitalization, land protection, media and art, and reclaiming traditions, among other themes. The involvement and participation of Indigenous youth are fundamental for intergenerational knowledge transfer and cultural continuity, as today's youth are the future leaders of their communities. Join us in celebrating the brilliance, creativity, and commitment of Indigenous youth around the globe. Meet the fellows here.

Cultural Survival advocates for Indigenous Peoples' rights and supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures and political resilience since 1972. We envision a future that respects and honors Indigenous Peoples' inherent rights and dynamic cultures, deeply and richly interwoven in lands, languages, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression, rooted in self-determination and self-governance.
