We are excited to share the attached flyer for the 2026 Tribal Students LEAD Summer Program at the University of Nevada, Reno. This culturally enriched leadership and higher education exploration program is designed for Native American and Indigenous high school students.

This year, the Reno-Sparks Tribal Health Center and BeHERE NV partnered to develop a special behavioral health career exploration curriculum that will be featured on Monday of the camp (June 15th). Students will have the opportunity to learn about behavioral health professions, pathways into the field, and the importance of supporting wellness within tribal communities.

We would greatly appreciate your help sharing this opportunity with tribal youth and families who may be interested in participating.

Here is the link to register for the program: https://admissions.unr.edu/register/lead26
