Leadership Development: About The Program

Two Feathers Leadership Development Program provides paid opportunities where Native youth can develop leadership and work skills, connection, and wellness. The Leadership Program was developed in the Summer of 2021. Two Feathers saw a need for multi-stressed youth to feel empowered through positive, culturally affirming opportunities to engage in their community.

The positive outcomes that our first "Youth Ambassadors" experienced, inspired Two Feathers to develop a pilot program that focused on supporting youth and young adults in developing leadership and advocacy skills while also expanding their connection to cultural learning and knowledge. The popularity of the program among youth and the growth they experienced, led Two Feathers to implement the Leadership Development program as one of our core programs.
