Close Up has longstanding partnerships with the United South and Eastern Tribes (USET) and the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), as well as a history of developing programs for native and non-native students alike. These Native American youth programs include:  

  • USET Impact Week Youth Summit: Through interactions with fellow USET youth, tribal leaders, and delegates, students enhance their understanding of the relationship between tribal nations and the U.S. government, and the role of USET in Native American advocacy.
  • American Indian and Alaska Native Youth Summit:Students identify their concerns for their communities, build the skills needed to make change, and become advocates for issues impacting Indian Country.
