"United National Indian Tribal Youth, Inc. (UNITY) will hold a series of webinars this fall that will further its mission of fostering the spiritual, mental, physical, and social development of American Indian and Alaska Native Youth. The series will kick off on Monday, October 5 at 6 p.m. PST with an Instagram live discussion on “Native Youth Vote 2020 – Then and Now.” The remaining webinars will take place on Tuesdays (youth-focused topics) at 1 p.m. PST or 3 p.m. PST, and Thursdays (adult-focused topics) at 12 p.m. PST, and will be conducted via Zoom or Instagram. Links to participate can be found on UNITY’s website, or on the list below.

The eight-week webinar series will be sponsored in part by Comcast NBCUniversal and Nike N7. A November webinar will be sponsored by Nike N7 as part of their commitment to National Native American Heritage Month.

“We are launching this series of webinars to engage with our communities on the topics that are most relevant to Native youth today, and to help adult leaders better engage and support them,” said UNITY Executive Director Mary Kim Titla. “We want to thank our wonderful sponsors, Comcast NBCUniversal and Nike N7 for making these webinars possible.”
