Mission and Focus
UNYA's mission is to empower Indigenous youth by offering culturally responsive and prevention-focused programs. These programs support young people in exploring their personal goals in education, employment, culture, and life, all within a safe and supportive environment. UNYA aims to be a haven for Indigenous youth to discover opportunities and resources both within the organization and the broader community.
Programs and Services
The organization delivers more than 20 programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of Indigenous youth, including those identifying as Aboriginal, Métis, Inuit, First Nations, Status, and Non-Status. These programs are designed to respond to both immediate and long-term needs of the youth, incorporating advocacy, preventative measures, and support services.
Structure and Engagement
UNYA promotes a youth-led approach, where young people are actively involved at all levels of the organization. They participate as program users, peer leaders, employees, and even board members. This engagement ensures that the organization remains responsive to the priorities and voices of the youth it serves.
Community Impact
With over 175 volunteers and 100 staff members, along with more than 300 community partners, UNYA has established itself as a significant force in community development for Indigenous youth. Its operations reflect a commitment to celebrating and amplifying the voices of young Indigenous people.
Legal Status
The Urban Native Youth Association is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency as a charitable organization, reflecting its compliance with CRA requirements for nonprofits. It operates under the business registration number 129836292RR0001.
