“Healing Our Youth to Heal Our Future”

The Wukchumni Youth Program is dedicated to “Healing Our Youth to Heal Our Future”  to maintain the cultural values of the Wukchumni People. We are preserving cultural traditions and teachings through prevention strategies. Our mission is to empower the next generation in the traditional way, as done by our ancestors before us. We envision a future where our youth stay resilient, connected to their roots, and equipped with the knowledge to make positive choices. By embracing our culture to protect and preserve our sacred places they aim to prevent challenges that they may face.

Our Summer Program starts June 10th! This year we have another program full of fun activities, cultural projects, and field trips! Remember to register youth 6-26, by May 29th 🤩
