Welcome to UNYA!
As Metro Vancouver's only Native youth program-providing organization, we work to empower Native youth through our 21 programs which include education & training, personal support, live-in programs, and sports & recreation. Each program works with different age groups, so please check our programs page or UNYA brochure for more info. Our work also includes community development, training, research, educational materials, and advocacy. Our main goal is to provide opportunities that can help Native youth to reach their full potential and personal goals.
What’s New?
We are recruiting summer students to help roll out awesome programming for Native youth. Please encourage current students (under 30 years) to check out the postings!
We recently completed a 3-month pilot Native Youth Leadership Program, which engaged lots of youth and set the foundation for our ongoing work in this area. We are continuing to host two leadership workshops every month. Watch for announcements, or contact us for more information!
Through Sisterwork: Agents for Change, young Native women and other allies created empowering violence prevention bracelets, posters, and videos Limited copies of posters are available for youth and community organizations. Sisterwork is now hosted by UNYA's Aboriginal Youth Worker, with activities still happening on Mondays. Please encourage young Native women to participate.
