Our Programs

We believe that education is the foundation of empowerment. Our Scholarship Workshops provide Native students with the tools and guidance needed to access higher education and pursue their dreams. By offering personalized support, we help students navigate the scholarship application process, making education more accessible and attainable for all.

Economic independence is crucial for the long-term success of our communities. Our Socioeconomic Development programs focus on improving financial literacy and entrepreneurship skills. Our Entrepreneurship Workshops empower individuals to start and grow their own businesses, fostering economic growth and self-reliance within our communities.

Preserving and celebrating our rich cultural heritage is at the heart of Elk Soup’s mission. Our Arts and Culture programs include a variety of activities that honor our traditions and promote cultural expression. From Art Auctions that showcase Native talent to Petsa and Hide Scraping Tool classes that pass down traditional skills, we are dedicated to cultural preservation. Our Multimedia Storytelling workshops offer a modern way to share our stories, ensuring that our voices are heard and our culture continues to thrive.

The well-being of our community members is a top priority. Our Health and Wellness programs promote physical, mental, and spiritual health through initiatives like Food Sovereignty, which encourages sustainable and traditional food practices. Our Yoga sessions provide a space for mindfulness and physical well-being, while our Men’s Group offers support and connection for Native men, fostering a sense of community and shared strength.
