We are the Center for Native American Youth

Our Vision is for all Native American youth to lead full and healthy lives, to have equal access to opportunity, and to draw strength from their culture and inspire one another.

About the art: My painting is of an O’odham girl with her gourd, singing traditional music makes me feel alive and more connected with my ancestors, it also makes me feel like I’ve found myself, the sunflowers represent growth they’re also my favorite flowers.
