Each year, the UNITY Organization convenes for a National Conference but of course, this year we’re meeting virtually. At these conferences, a female representative and male representative from each UNITY affiliated youth council (along with individual members) participate in Regional Caucuses to identify the Top 10 Issues Facing Native Youth. These Regional Caucuses serve as a networking opportunity as well as a brainstorming session for how to address community challenges. These Caucus discussions help to create one National Initiative.
Please Register for a Caucus based on what state you live in. Please check UNITY’s website to find out what region your state is in.

Become a UNITY Member for FREE in 2020!
The National UNITY Council (NUC) Executive Committee first suggested the idea of waiving affiliation fees as a way to be more inclusive and assist those who have been impacted by the pandemic. UNITY acted on the recommendation and is excited to waive this year’s affiliation fees for youth councils and individuals in hopes to reach even more Native youth through the upcoming virtual events. Those who have already paid their membership dues will automatically be in “Good Standing” through July 1, 2022.
Youth Councils and Individual Members may join the UNITY Network for free when completing an Annual Report before July 1, 2020. [Click Here]
