The Kinship Center Partnership

This initiative aims to provide a framework that promotes healthy community engagement through cultural connection and mutual support building. Ultimately, the Kinship Center will provide foundational programming for a juvenile diversion program for native youth and their families, in addition other community driven activities.

Our Partners

Restorative justice and restorative community healing

Wo'takuye Oyate is being built in partnership with other community organizations, all of which have engaged Native leadership. While our goal is to connect our community and nurture cultural engagement, we are also working with partners to establish a diversion program for our Native youth. Wo'takuye Oyate will be the collective community effort that supports the restorative healing of our youth and families!
