Youth Leadership Program
The CNA identified developing a Youth Leadership Program as an essential component to social development within the communities. The program provides a focused introduction to the world of governing, in which youth are developing skills as tomorrow’s leaders. The youth are also being exposed to a breadth of industry professionals, community leaders and educators. The overall goal of the Youth Leadership Program is to have a profound positive effect on the youth and the communities of the Nlaka’pamux Nation.
