Agenda: Indigenous Youth Ambassadors, Alaska Native Studies 2018 Conference
About
The Indigenous Youth Ambassadors is a council created to encourage and promote leadership
development, learning through mentorship and peer support for youth. The Indigenous Youth
Ambassadors participate in service-learning with volunteers, professionals, Elders and
community members to assist with professional and educational development opportunities,
college readiness and community support.
Indigenous Youth Ambassadors engage in meetings, events, activities, programs, and benefit by
learning, serving and engaging with a wide variety of people in public venues, classrooms,
and in the field.
Indigenous Youth Ambassadors will represent the GHF and youth council publicly, meet new friends and
family, and learn valuable meeting, work, and school related skills that will assist with
achieving new education, career and life goals. “Ée ix axahéen”, or “I believe in you”.
