Help us meet the needs of the people

Much of our funding is from federal grants, local foundations, and private donations. Despite these sources, many grants are restrictive and do not cover general operating funds. As our mission moves forward and we expand, we require additional staffing, equipment, and supplies.

Donate:

Your monetary donation helps us continue to provide and grow our programs and services to build a community of resilient and powerful relatives. We are currently looking to expand our ability to provide rewarding field trips for the youth to areas outside of Rapid City, and are raising funds to build a playground and shed for storage. Any amount you can contribute is greatly appreciated.

 
 

To contribute by mail, please send a check made payable to Wambli Ska Okolakiciye to: PO Box 2004, Rapid City SD 57709

“The teen center is a part of my life. It has helped me with my community service and keeping my head above water. They have helped me with my schooling too, with resources and keeping me on time and on task. I get to see my friends and have a nice place to go after school. Also, the teen center keeps me updated and feeds me so that’s a major plus.”
