Who We Are
We are a subsidiary of Native American New Life Ministries, a 501(c) nonprofit charitable organization. This program was established in 2011 after realizing the educational needs in the community that was not being met by existing local entities. The school dropout rate has become like an epidemic. Statistics show that over 55% of high school students drop out throughout the entire Navajo Reservation. Also, the college dropout rate has reached over 72% in this community. This dropout has regenerated into other social issues which include but not limited to:
- Teenage pregnancy
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Juvenile delinquency
- Vandalism
- Youth crimes
Thus resulting in family dysfunction which is tearing the social fabric of various communities on the Navajo reservation.
