2020 Native American Youth Conference

Welcome!

The 2020 Native American Youth Conference (NAYC) is hosted under the department of Outreach and Special Programs at Fresno State. The conference is held in the month of September around California Native American Day with a target audience of 6th - 12th grade Native American students from all school districts. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for future students to explore the pathways towards higher education by participating in workshops covering application admissions information, financial aid and scholarships, A-G requirements, pathways towards higher education, student services, and resources. Along with hearing from a special guest Darlene Franco (Wukchumni) as our keynote speaker, adding cultural presentation, a student panel and providing on and off campus resources to help students excel.

This year the conference will take place online via Zoom for a virtual experience for the safety of all participating.
