Urban Native Education Alliance

Urban Native Education Alliance provides culturally responsive and relevant support services to Native youth and families throughout Seattle, WA and the surrounding region. Since its founding in 2008, UNEA has developed comprehensive educational and social services designed to address the unique needs of Native learners and their families. The organization offers consultation, advocacy, support, and resources tailored specifically for Native students and families navigating educational systems. Through programs like Clear Sky, which has achieved a 100% graduation and advancement rate for participating Native learners, UNEA demonstrates its commitment to measurable educational outcomes. The organization's service model is youth-centered and youth-driven, ensuring that young people have voice and agency in program design and implementation. UNEA provides social, cultural, and educational support that promotes academic success, health, wellness, and socio-cultural development for youth, families, and the broader community. Guided by core values of Integrity, Interconnectedness, Inclusion, and Service, the organization operates through grassroots community volunteers who are deeply invested in Native educational equity. Whether families need academic tutoring, mentorship, cultural enrichment, or advocacy support, UNEA connects them with resources and community members who understand their experiences and are committed to their success.
