Help Build Homes for Native Families

Native Hope celebrates education as a lifelong undertaking that raises self-esteem and opens new horizons for youth. These Native American youth are leaders and mentors for the next generation. They know their culture and embrace it as part of who they are.
Teen suicide, domestic abuse, rape, and sex trafficking are urgent issues plaguing Native American youth living on reservations. The truth can be unsettling, but it needs to be told. Most importantly, real people desperately need help.
Language. Tradition. Ceremonies. Art. Family. For Native Americans, these things aren’t just parts of their lives; they form their identity. Our goal is not just to see Native American culture preserved, but honored, embraced, and thriving.
We believe in the power of storytelling to dismantle barriers, bring healing, and inspire hope for Native people. Why? Because telling stories of Native struggle and Native strength is a powerful catalyst for unity, generational healing, and personal growth. Each of us has an evolving story which no one else can write. We believe that healing for Native people starts with a vulnerable recounting of where one has been, where one is today, and where one wants to be tomorrow. That’s why we tell stories. And that’s why we need your support!
Native Hope works in Native communities throughout the United States with offices in Chamberlain, South Dakota, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Native Hope Media team visits reservations, pueblos, and other Native communities in both rural and urban areas.
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.
Each year, Native Hope will support a group of Fellows with a mission to create an impact for Native Americans.
The Leaders' Society is a group of Native Hope team members who dedicate 5 hours a week to partner with like-minded organizations serving the needs of the most vulnerable in Indian Country. These partnerships help to empower youth on and off reservations, inspiring the next generation to have a voice, take positive action and become strong leaders for their tribes. This powerful on-the-ground work allows many important stories an opportunity to be heard.
Our ambassadors are a group of Native and Non-Native Americans who are dedicated to helping Native people heal through the power of storytelling. They are determined to change the perception of Native Americans by educating about Native issues while helping others find a way to be a part of today’s society—still keeping their Native American heritage alive.
If you are interested in one of our ambassadors speaking at your school, conference, forum, or other event, please contact us.
