2025 National Tribal TANF Institute

The National Tribal TANF Institute brought together Tribal TANF staff from across the country for an in-person educational experience in July 2025 in Davis, California. The theme, “Twenty Years of Tradition: Celebrating Today and Tomorrow Together,” emphasized the importance of honoring tribal values, cultures and traditions while also embracing new ideas, practices and innovations to make native communities stronger for future generations. Participants explored programs, opportunities and resources for tribal youth and young adults to help them transition into thriving adulthood.
