Youth & education

The NAYA Many Nations Academy (MNA) serves students in 9th-12th grade in a culturally specific, student-centered learning environment with a blended high school and college and career readiness curriculum.

Educational youth advocates work in partnership with students and families to facilitate measurable goals based on the four Relational Worldview Model quadrants–mind, body, spirit and context.

Seasonal camps include a summer camp for elementary aged-children, a middle school camp, and a high school credit recovery program. Spring break camps focus on language, math, science, and cultural arts.

College Nights offer an opportunity to learn about resources like FAFSA filing, the college application process, and resume creation. Students or prospective students are paired with a College and Career Readiness coach.

NAYA's Two Spirit Safe Space Alliance provides a safe and supportive environment for 2SLGBTQ+ youth where they can connect with others who share similar experiences.

NAYA’s Educational Re-Engagement Program helps students return to school with coaching, tutoring, and GED support. Additional resources like child care, transportation, and career coaching set participants on the path to a diploma and living-wage career.

The Alcohol and Drug Program is focused on prevention and building healthy life skills for youth at risk for alcohol and/or drug abuse who are also experiencing homelessness.
