Over the past three and one-half years, TNL staff has traveled throughout the country conducting culturally based, leadership training sessions for youth from communities such as Mentasta, AK, Hardrock, AZ, Bishop, CA, Presque Isle, ME and Livingston, TX.
The Today’s Native Leaders program has helped youth acknowledge the value of their home communities, and to create service projects that serve their communities. A highlight of the TNL program is that it is youth led and this helps participants to set their goals high and step out of their comfort zone, embracing healthy choices. Read More
