Creating Opportunity, Confidence, and Leadership for Native Girls ... On and Off the Field

The Native Youth Foundation (NYF) serves Indigenous youth nationwide, with a focused commitment to Native girls who want to play, compete, and belong through flag football. At its core, NYF exists for one reason: to inspire, support, and develop Indigenous youth into confident leaders on the field, in the classroom, and within their communities. NYF was created to break down the barriers Indigenous youth too often face by providing safe, empowering spaces where girls can grow as athletes, leaders, and proud members of their culture.

This Isn’t About Promises — It’s About Impact.

Through Indigenous girls flag football and athletic programs, NYF delivers measurable, real-world change. Programs reach Native communities across reservations and states, supported by meaningful partnerships with community leaders, athletes, and advocates.

Beyond sport, NYF builds:

Strong leadership skills

Confidence and self-belief

Cultural pride and identity

A sense of belonging and possibility

Every practice, game, and team experience is designed to help Native girls see what’s possible for themselves and their future.

For many participants, NYF opens doors they have never had access to before.

Girls travel beyond their reservations.
They meet new people.
They see new places.

They experience opportunities that expand their world and their sense of what they can achieve.
These moments change perspective — and often, the trajectory of a young life.
