Short Abstract:
Center for Native American Youth (CNAY) at The Aspen Institute, released "Native Youth Count: The State of Native Youth 2019,” on November 20.
The Center for Native American Youth (CNAY) at Aspen Institute releases this report annually. The report highlights young leaders who are working hard to create a brighter future for tribal nations, the programs that help them do so, and the policy issues that impact their lives. The report also shares what we’ve learned from community meetings with youth and service providers about the priorities and solutions that matter most. The State of Native Youth report is presented as a resource and roadmap to help decrease barriers and increase opportunity for Native youth.
As noted, the theme of this year’s report is Native Youth Count. CNAY discusses why being counted in the 2020 Census is critical, and they describe the impact of representation on the lives of youth. They share details about some of the people, initiatives, and organizations that help develop today’s youth as well as future generations of young people. This year’s prompt was: What does citizenship and sense of belonging mean to you? Throughout this year’s report, CNAY highlights the importance of Native youth civic engagement and belonging. They also feature artwork throughout the report that was submitted as part of the annual Gen-I Creative Native Call for Art.
