Bioneer, Support Young Indigenous Leaders

Support Native Youth to Attend Bioneers

Dear Bioneer,

The Bioneers Native Youth Leadership Program (NYLP) creates opportunities for Native youth to participate in, network at, and be empowered by attending the annual Bioneers Conference and Indigenous Forum. You can help!
  • Just $30 allows us to provide three healthy lunches for one Native youth at the Bioneers conference.
  • $500 allows us to provide full Conference registration, three healthy meals, and transportation for one Native youth.
Support and Build Native Youth Leadership
Donate within the next week, and your gift will be doubled. Thanks to a generous offer from a visionary group of donors including the Peterffy Foundation and David Milliken, all donations to Bioneers until the end of the year will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000! Your support matters now more than ever.

In 2019, the NYLP sponsored 109 Indigenous Youth and 22 chaperones representing over 50 tribal backgrounds, and more than 15 California Indian tribes. Twenty Native culture-bearers worked directly with youth presenting cultural exchange activities.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.
From a Bioneers NYLP scholarship recipient:

"My favorite part of Bioneers is always hearing other Indigenous folks come up there in front of hundreds of people and speak truth and really just come in with all these innovative ideas, saying, ‘Here’s how we need to change it, here’s how we’re going to change it.’ It’s really inspiring. It’s really motivational. It always fills me with hope because there’s always going to be destruction in the world, but there’s always going to be someone who is trying to fix it. And, that’s why I love going to Bioneers.”

We hope you'll consider supporting these incredible young people.

Our sincerest gratitude,

Cara Romero and Alexis Bunten
