People & Culture
One of the largest employers of urban Native people in the Pacific Northwest, NAYA’s culture of reciprocity begins within. We celebrate the diverse experiences and identities each of us brings to serving the Native community. Many of us are program participants who return to serve. No matter our differences, we share the values.
