Eight students showed up on the San Carlos Apache Reservation in 2022 for the first STEM and digital literacy program ever held on a Native American reservation. Today, more than 160 Native youth across eight chapters are building, coding, and leading through Girls Who Game, delivered in partnership with Dell Technologies and Freeport-McMoRan across two Arizona reservations where one in four residents has no access to high-speed internet. That same commitment extends to Native veterans through EB-NAV, our Entrepreneurship Bootcamp run in partnership with the University of New Mexico, where all expenses are covered and alumni are already building businesses in their own communities. We honor Native cadets at West Point and the United States Air Force Academy through sacred Eagle Feather Ceremonies, and we supported the first-ever veteran retreat held on tribal land through our partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project. Our annual Turquoise, Black and White Gala brings together tribal leaders, corporate partners, and community supporters each year to celebrate and grow this work. Your gift, matched through Benevity, goes directly to communities that most organizations never reach. Eight students in 2022. More than 160 today. Be part of what comes next.
