Whether building with adobe, mountain biking, hiking or learning basic outdoor survival skills, Project Venture actively engages youth in a proven and effective method of developing life skills while reinforcing traditional Native values. Through year-round in school and after school programming, we keep youth actively engaged in problem solving, communication, cooperation and team building through experiential games and activities. And, we are nationally recognized as the first Native American Model Program for resilience to alcohol, tobacco and drug abuse. Take a moment to find out how NIYLP has earned such a successful reputation working with Native youth!
