Native Youth Productions

Denver Colorado

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 campaign that’s reached thousands of Native American Coloradans.

Building relationships and capacity to integrate youth development practices that foster real growth.
Genuinely partnering with youth to explore and capture lived experiences to reach their peers.
Bringing the community together around shared values that help break harmful cycles that impact 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.
