The ultimate purpose is to create a permanent full-time, volunteer coordinator. This position will provide stability and systematization of the volunteer program which increases and strengthen our relationships with volunteers through a uniform, thriving and sustainable volunteer program. Further, the permanency of a volunteer coordinator will mitigate the loss of institutional knowledge. It will provide our agency with the integral capacity it needs to operate programs with an increased return on investment. Currently, our volunteer program is coordinated by a federally funded VISTA volunteer position.

Increase Native youth financial literacy through culturally-appropriate financial education classes and experiential learning opportunities such as the Crazy Cash City financial reality fair and youth savings accounts.

The ultimate purpose is to establish an outreach and communications strategy with the potential to increase revenues from grants, donations, and workshop fees, which will strengthen the financial position of the microenterprise, IDA and CDFI programs, in turn increasing those programs' reach and service in our communities, and enabling increased direct aid to families through our housing and energy assistance programs, and expand the reach of our career-skills and workforce-training programming. The outcomes of these programs will improve as the process of tracking and managing the related data is developed.
