The Native Youth Summit (NYS) is a two-day leadership development event for Native youth ages 13–17. Hosted by the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW), the summit is a space for growth, connection, and healing.
Together, we’ll explore what it means to lead with culture, compassion, and courage. Sessions will focus on healthy relationships, consent, bystander intervention, mental health, and more, centering the lived experiences of Native youth and building tools to break cycles of violence.
