We R Native is a multimedia, multi-channel health resource for Native youth, by Native youth.
It is funded by the Indian Health Service HIV Program and by the Division of Behavioral Health.

2. A multi-media health resource
about the topics that matter most to them.

3. Over 350 health articles, reviewed by AI/AN youth and topical experts.
Over 204,000 page views!
Across all media channels, the service reaches 31,000+ users per week.
Feel free to pull it up and surf while I speak… Approximately half (42%) of our users access the website on a mobile device.
The website includes content on social, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. It also provides general life advice on a wide variety of topics, from transitioning to college, to communicating with friends. We wrapped all of this medically accurate information into a fun, interactive package…driven by Native youth.
We knew that if were going to successfully compete for their time and attention online, we’d have to create a positive, entertaining, interactive space – that really spoke to their everyday experiences and interests.

4. Join our Youth Ambassador team… Ambassador generate ideas for the website, review content before it is posted, promote We R Native at conferences and youth gatherings.
The Youth Ambassador Application will open again March 28th!
