A key element of UNITY’s mission is to foster the spiritual, mental, physical, and social development of American Indian and Alaska Native youth.
What does this mean to you as an individual? What does this mean to your place in your Family, Youth Council or Community?

Just being born signs you up for roles, such as; Brother, Sister, Daughter, Son, Niece, Granddaughter, Grandson, Uncle, Auntie and Cousin. You are a friend and neighbor. You became a student and doors opened to be a club member, team member, employee and coworker. You are a member of your Nation or Tribe. Cultural roles in ceremony are singers, dancers and spiritual leaders. Gifts and talents emerge, as you have grown up. You may be discovering or cultivating your role as an artist, musician, athlete, writer and speaker. You may be a gifted student in specific areas of study, like math or science. You may fill the role of an advocate and activist for a social or environmental cause. There are many roles. Your range of roles are vital to you and others. What are yours? Read More

National Mentoring Month Toolkit & Resources
What if we all decided to turn up our impact?
How would we strengthen our communities?
How would we change the world?
Change multiplies each time someone is inspired by greater possibilities. It starts with someone like you committing to one act of support, which motivates someone else to advocate for progress. And then it builds, from one connection to the next, until entire communities are moved to action. That’s the power of mentoring — both mentor and mentee grow together, seeing the world through each other’s eyes.
Mentoring amplifies change, one relationship at a time. This National Mentoring Month, let’s raise our voices and make the world a place of opportunity for all. Join us by using hashtags #MentoringMonth and #MentoringAmplifies to share throughout the month! Read More
