Native Action Network

Native Action Network continued its successful programming and services through several activities, which include: Native women's leadership forum & honoring luncheon, in which over 125 Native women came together to share their knowledge, leadership, challenges, and stories of success. The workshops held in conjunction were presented by several professional Native women covering areas of interest and contemporary issues and training. Young Native women's academy, in which we host a two-day intensive training for young contemporary Native women and cover hot topics such as confidence, communications, and health. Legacy of leadership is a 10-month leadership cohort training for Native women. It is centered around the legacy of leadership of the american indian women's service league, the inspiration of Native Action Network. This comprehensive professional training includes full-day workshop training on nonprofits, communities of color, government and civic involvement, finances, and community organizing. Train the trainer - a new series for training Native women to become certified in the nonprofit capacity building training through Washington nonprofits. Community involvement - Native Action Network's strong base of community building is ongoing and growing. We have collaborated with many nonprofits on issues of importance and advocacy. Groups include the seattle urban Native nonprofit coalition, communities of concern commission, and south king county Native coalition. Our work on community development continues based on the community-driven vision for urban indians. Native Action provides advocacy and shares resource information to serve our community better.
