We are at a pivotal moment, launching our non-profit with a mission to empower the youth of Winnebago through creative expression. Our immediate goal is to secure 501c3 status, enabling us to access grant funding that will propel our programs to new heights.

Last summer, we successfully conducted our inaugural 10-week filmmaking workshop, engaging six talented youth from Winnebago Public School. This was just the beginning. We envision expanding this program, offering more opportunities for young creatives to hone their skills and showcase their unique perspectives.

Your financial support can be a game-changer. Every dollar you contribute will directly influence the lives of Winnebago youth interested in exploring diverse educational and career paths. We are committed to unlocking their potential, serving as a catalyst for creativity that reveals hidden talents waiting to be discovered.

Your investment in Wōrak Horak is more than a contribution - it's a commitment to reshaping the future of Native storytelling. We're not just preserving history; we're empowering a new generation to write the next chapter of our collective narrative. Join us in this vital mission to nurture talent, honor culture, and create a brighter, more inclusive future for Native youth across Nebraska and beyond. Together, we can ensure that the authentic voices of Native America are heard, respected, and celebrated for generations to come.

At Wōrak Horak Youth Organization, we envision a vibrant future where innovative solutions not only empower our youth but also foster the cultural empowerment of Native communities. To turn this inspiring vision into a tangible reality, we are taking bold and decisive steps toward establishing our own 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. However, to kick off this important initiative successfully, we recognize the necessity of securing support and resources from passionate individuals who share our commitment to making a difference.
