Youth & Family
Investing in Native youth and families by creating opportunities to learn, connect, participate, and build a strong future together.
Our Programming
The Progressive Tribal Alliance is committed to creating opportunities for Native youth and families to learn, participate, and build stronger connections with their community. Our youth and family programming combines education, community events, cultural experiences, and direct support designed to meet families where they are and create positive experiences for the next generation.
From providing shoes, backpacks, and school supplies to creating educational activities and family-friendly community events, PTA works to make sure Native children and families are included, supported, and connected. We believe investing in our youth means investing in the future of our Native community.
