Exciting News! 🌿
We are thrilled to announce that our Indigenous Youth Voices (IYV) annual summer trip is just around the corner! This year’s adventure promises to be our best yet, with incredible activities, special guests, and opportunities to connect with nature and our heritage.
While we had to push back the trip to August due to unforeseen family emergencies, we remain dedicated to making this event a memorable one. Stay tuned for the official dates and details – we’ll be announcing them very soon! Sign-ups will open shortly, and spaces are limited, so make sure to keep an eye out for our updates.
The trip is for Native youth ages 15-27, with travel available for those from Denver, Wind River, Pine Ridge, and Rosebud. If any youth out there are interested but unsure what to expect, please reach out to our Youth Coordinator, Jonah GreyBull-Green. He can explain the program and connect you with other youth members who have attended in previous years. This option is available for parents/guardians as well.
We are dedicated to empowering our Native youth and enriching our traditional storytelling and knowledge. Our program includes discussions on healing, mental and emotional health, and the importance of Native leadership in environmental justice, climate change, and Indigenous advocacy work. Participants will learn how to get involved in internships, outdoor recreation, national park services, conservation, and employment pathways in these fields.
Also, keep a lookout for our upcoming Indigenous Youth Voices funding and sponsorship shoutout! We want to honor our partners and those who made this happen, and more importantly, share the impactful work they do. Some are first-time supporters of Native-led initiatives, and we deeply value their contributions. If you are interested in becoming a partner or sponsor, please contact us.
Help us make this summer a memorable one for our Indigenous Youth Voices Group. We are still fundraising to cover activities like white water rafting and lodging. If you are interested in sponsoring any of these, please reach out to us at notournativedaughters@gmail.com or text 'NATIVEYOUTH' to 44-321.
