Lakota Youth Development is a grassroots Native non-profit organization that has been serving the tribal nations in South Dakota since 1992. Their mission is to reclaim Lakota language, culture, and spirituality by promoting education and healthy lifestyles for the youth through culturally based strategies.
They offer a range of programs and activities, including weekend retreats, camps, language immersion sessions, and youth societies, all aimed at providing intensive cultural activities and a safe environment for the youth to learn and grow. Additionally, they have social enterprises run by their youth, such as honey production, cultural performances, and traditional art, which help support their vision of empowering the youth and preserving Lakota heritage.
