This is the first in a new yearly series of reports we're calling The State of Native Youth. Every year, we will share what we learn through our community meetings, surveys, and other work with Native youth throughout the country. We will also analyze the latest data and indicators of Native youth opportunity and success. Finally, and most important, this report will be a platform to lift up the voice of Native youth advocates and highlight the programs across Indian Country and the rest of the United States that are working to improve their lives.
