NATIVE NATIONS INSTITUTE TO HOST

YOUTH LEADERSHIP CAMPS

The Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy (NNI) will be hosting its annual youth leadership camps this summer in Tucson. Both camps are designed for Native American high school juniors, seniors, and 2009 high school graduates.

The Native American Youth Governance Camp (June 23–25) is designed to help build the knowledge and skills of future leaders of Native nations through a comprehensive curriculum, similar to NNI's executive education workshops, that explores the keys to effective Indigenous self-governance. Students engage critical thinking, decision-making, and team-building exercises to learn how to address the most pressing challenges for Native nations.

The aim of the award-winning Native American Youth Entrepreneur Camp (July 19-24) is to encourage private sector development in Indian Country by teaching students the fundamentals of personal and professional development, including how to start a business, how to write a simple business plan, and how to apply the plan to a part-time business they could start when they return home.
