We Are Each Other's Harvest

The Community & Youth Collaborative from Lincoln High School and the Indian Center are working together on a program to celebrate identity, farmers, land, and legacy .  In our partnership, we're requesting funds  to supplement the educational materials/needs for our youth volunteers.  As an after school club at Lincoln High School, we are reading, "We Are Each Other's Harvest" by Natalie Baszile and implementing more books (An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States, An African American and Latinx History) into our program throughout the year.  Through this fund,  we wish to provide a variety of year-round ground work and Educational Retreat opportunities that our youth can develop strong self-identities and intersectional community support. Youth will be able to utilize services and resources through the Indian Center and at our home school, Lincoln High School, to build a positive ethnic and self-identity through embodied education. Requesting $3,000 plus cost reimbursement.

A big thank you to everyone who donated to our after school club! These funds will greatly help and benefit students at Lincoln High School, especially our Indigenous students.  Through this Fund-A-Need, we will utilize to make purchases for items and events that our after school club can put into action, like our First Annual Intertribal Spiritual Walk! Community & Youth Collaborative is a fast growing organization with lots of potential.  Our work has been noticed and partly because of what we do, Native American Studies will be offered for the first time as an elective credit course.  This is HUGE! Again, we thank you LPS Foundation for making this Fund-A-Need a possibility and to all of you for your donations! 

Students from Lincoln High School recently traveled to New Mexico to attend the Gathering of Nations.  We are so thankful to the foundation for making this trip possible.  We are grateful for your support!
