Who We Are
We are a subsidiary of Native American New Life Ministries, a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization.
This program was established in 2011 after realizing the educational needs in the community that were 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 college dropout has reached over 72% in this community.
This dropout has regenerated into other social issues which includes but not limited to:
Teenage pregnancy
Drug and alcohol abuse
Juvenile delinquency
Vandalism
Youth crimes
Thus resulting into family dysfunction which is tearing the social fabric of various
communities on the Navajo reservation.
