Welcome
Greetings!

Moving into 2021, we have been “safer at home” for over eight months. During this time, we were fortunate to never have to stop working. We were able to continue delivering meaningful programs to Native youth, as well as continue our work with community partners near and far. Our programs and their delivery may have changed, but our commitment to Native youth and communities remains at our core and in our hearts. 
As an organization, we are ready for some rest and time to reset for the new year. We anticipate new goals, challenges and accomplishments. Most of all, we want for all of you to remain healthy, active and in good spirits (whatever that means for you) so that we can meet again. Will it be at the next Healthy Kids! Healthy Futures! Conference or perhaps another gathering? 
Until then, we hope you enjoy the positive stories and updates in the December newsletter. We wish you and yours the most peaceful holiday season and look forward to what the new year will bring.

In health,
Jon Driskell
COO, acting President and CEO
