Founded in 1974, the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) is a thriving social services and community center in NE Portland, and one of the city’s most respected nonprofit organizations. Portland ranks as one of the largest Urban Native communities in the US and NAYA’s 170 employees provide a wide spectrum of programs for our people, from education to housing to elder services. We do our work knowing that our Native cultures are a source of our empowerment.
