Empowering Culture through Storytelling
Welcome to Wōrak Horak Youth Organization, where we're not just teaching filmmaking - we're igniting a cultural revolution. Our mission? To transform the lives of Native youth through the power of film. We don't merely educate; we empower, inspire, and cultivate the next generation of Native storytellers.
Through our innovative dual-approach model, we offer an immersive 10-week summer film program alongside professional video production services. This unique structure not only provides hands-on learning for our youth but also generates sustainable revenue to fuel our programs. Join us in celebrating creativity, resilience, and the rich tapestry of Native narratives as we launch the filmmakers of tomorrow into their roles as cultural pioneers today.
Wōrak Horak means Storyteller.
