| History of PYEC |
The Youth and Elders Council began as part of a regional effort to reduce poverty in urban Indian communities. The Council works to energize local communities to join in a "community of interest" of off-reservation tribal peoples. Together this community of interest used community-based research and inclusive community input to develop greater community ties and improve the quality of life for Native Americans in urban areas. Through the practice of traditional values, the Youth and Elders Council continues to address poverty and other community issues by focusing on community solutions to housing, employment, education, health, and racism while building on community strengths.
