Join Us To Meet The 2020 Champions For Change

Join us and hear the inspiring stories that led Jazmine, Isabella, Owen, Shavaughna and Warren to be named 2020 Champions for Change. The 2020 Champions for Change serve as representatives of the next generations of leaders in Indian Country.

From Washington to California to Wyoming, the 2020 Champions have advocated for issues important to them, such as revitalization of language and culture, advocating for gun control, destigmatization of mental illness, implementing traditional coping mechanisms for intergenerational traumas, and increasing visibility and Native storytelling.
