Our Approach

We Put Youth First

Our focus on youth programs fosters change across age groups and entire communities.
American Indian-Led

Our leadership is committed to preserving the traditions, languages and sanctity of American Indian communities.
We Help Where Needed Most

Rather than coming into a community and announcing what we can do, we first listen to hear what they need.
