Call for Applications: 2025 Champions for Change

CNAY is excited to announce that applications for the 2025 Champions for Change cohort are now open! To be considered, you must respond to six short answer questions and submit two letters of recommendation – one from a peer and one from a professional (25+). PLEASE NOTE: you will not be able to save the application and come back to it! We recommend:

  1. Preparing your responses ahead of time, double checking your work and submitting only once you have all your materials ready;
  2. Reviewing all the information on the Champions for Change page and reading our FAQs to get all your questions answered before submitting; and
  3. Starting the process early, as it will take time to complete! 

Applicants must submit their Champions for Change Application no later than September 29 at 11:59pm ET.

Submission Eligibility:

  • Self-identify as Native or Indigenous
  • Between the ages of 14- and 24-years-old

After an extensive review process and a round of phone interviews, five final Champions for Change will be notified by December 31, 2024.
