Eight Northern Native Youth Summit

  Understand and Guide Yourself 

The Eight Northern Native Youth Summit is a series of workshops over 2 days and is a powerful leadership development experience that connects, challenges, and cultivates a cohort of up to 35 Native youth from the Eight Northern Pueblos ranging in age from 12 to 17 years old. Our theme for the summit is Understand and Guide Yourself and it will focus on self-awareness and land to strengthen our Tribal communities through the following learning opportunies:
  • Encourage Native youth to work towards strengthening their voice; 
  • Building our Native youth knowledge on the basics of violence prevention so they may share with their relatives in their territories; and,
  • Support Native youth in their building of knowledge to eliminate violence against all of our relatives. 

This application MUST BE completed by the youth interested in applying for the Eight Northern Native Youth Summit and NOT by a parent or guardian on behalf of the applicant.

Acceptance into the Eight Nortern Native Youth Summit will be based on the applicants responses provided in the essay questions and based the applicants involvement in thier community. 

Each application will be internally reviewed and 35 youth will be selected. CSVANW will begin notifying applicants about their application status by phone. The accepted Eight Northern Native Youth Summit participants will receive a laptop and headphones to attend the event.

 PLEASE NOTE - Submitting an application to CSVANW to review DOES NOT confirm that the applicant is accepted. We will begin to notify participants of their application status as soon as possible.
