NATIONAL INTERTRIBAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE"

This project will build on the successes of the past OJJDP National Intertribal Youth Leadership Summits and further expand the types of leadership development support that OJJDP offers to tribal youth. This initiative aims to enhance tribal efforts to increase youth engagement, coordination, and action related to juvenile justice, delinquency prevention, and public safety in Indian country. United National Indian Tribal Youth (UNITY) will also recruit youth councils that will take part in training to prepare them to plan, organize and successfully conduit community service projects in their home communities. Using funds through this Interagency Agreement, UNITY will support the first-ever White House Tribal Youth Gathering which will continue to build upon the President's Generation Indigenous initiative to improve the lives of Native youth through new investments and increased engagement.
