Meet Our Team: Relatives Serving Our Future

At the Cheyenne River Youth Project, our work is more than a career — it is a commitment to our relatives and the future of the Lakota nation. CRYP’s growth, from a one-room storefront to a premier five-acre youth development campus, has been fueled by the dedication, long-term expertise and Lakota leadership of our staff. We are Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal members who were born and raised on this land, and we are deeply rooted in this community. We are parents, mentors and healers who believe that when our children have a safe place to belong, they have the power to thrive.
