We are launching our NEW Social Justice Fellowship Program! Our Social Justice Fellowship (SJF)  program is designed to help (6) young Indigenous people ages 18-30 gain more insight on community engagement, policy change,  climate adaptation, cultural preservation, and the protection of sacred sites. Our inaugural SJFs will be taking a closer look at uranium mining in McKinley County.

Our ultimate goal is to help create policy change for a uranium free county and begin the conversation and awareness among young people and families about the effects of uranium mining. ****Each participate will receive a monetary incentives.
