Native Youth Productions

Denver Colorado

Federal Economic Mobility Grant

From 2022 - 2025 we worked with The Denver Indian Family Center, the CO. Dept. of Human Services, and the Federal office of Child Support Services to build from the ground up a youth/agency partnership supported production company which culminated in a youth-led community-level film production and peer-targeted economic mobility digital campaign that’s reached tens of thousands of Native American Colorado youth.

Building rapport and trust with Native American youth to the degree they are willing to endorse government funded programs is an effort that’s understandably challenging.

Yet, these youth created content and a film that introduced many thousands of their peers to strategies for breaking the cycles of poverty that have held back Native Communities for hundreds of years.
