Sioux YMCA Receives Grant Award

from the John T. Vucurevich Foundation

The Sioux YMCA is very pleased to announce a grant award of $18,215 from the John T. Vucurevich Foundation. This award establishes the position of   Director of Entrepreneurship and provides marketing support for the existing Sioux YMCA Arts & Crafts Project. Una Howe, a local artist, has been hired as director. She possesses a Bachelor of Fine Arts, a visionary spirit and is herself an artist, knowing fully the challenges facing the entrepreneur artist.

 

The goal of this position is to increase vital, economic links between the Sioux YMCA Arts & Crafts Project, the “outside” world and the artisans of the Cheyenne River Reservation. Dollars earned on the Reservation are mostly spent here, thus multiplying the effect any increase of income has to beyond that of the artisan earner and into the community. Una will accomplish this by developing relationships and markets within our existing, extensive YMCA network throughout the United States, identifying other markets, including our website and working with local artisans, both adults and teens, to develop their products. She will also work with the Four Bands Community Fund of the Cheyenne River Reservation and help provide financial and entrepreneurship training and support.

MVP MURAL

        

Emily Schiffer and  Tess Korobkin worked with the youth in the "My View Point" Photography Project to "reach for their personal star" and create a mural of their lives as captured in their photography. The photographers return in late summer.

 


Mission

Our mission is to develop and strengthen the children and families

in our Reservation communities so they can fulfill their greatest individual and collective spiritual,  mental and physical potential.
