The Native Hope Fellowship Program empowers creativity and leadership in Indigenous Peoples and their communities. The initiative creates and supports opportunities and funding for individuals to develop their vision and improve Indian Country.
The 2020-2021 Fellows are leading initiatives to deliver clean water throughout the Navajo nation, fight mental health among teens, promote and enrich Indigenous culture, and more!
We invite you to meet our Fellows.
