2018 Academy

The Sovereign Native Youth STEM Leadership Academy is a summer program that exposes Native American high-school aged students to STEM and transportation related opportunities after high school and equips them with leadership skills to succeed.

Participants are empowered to positively impact their tribal communities while gaining a greater appreciation for Native American Culture

The 2018 Academy took place on the campus of University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) June 24th - 29th, and brought together both university and high school students, Native professionals, UNL faculty, and other distinguished guests.
