The Champions for Change (CFC) program is a Native youth leadership initiative designed to highlight positive stories of impact from across Indian Country. The program, inspired by a 2011 White House initiative, develops young Native leaders through experience-based learning and tailored advocacy training. Each year, the Center for Native American Youth (CNAY) selects five inspirational youth to join the CFC leadership network.
