Our focus is on planning and implementation of programming suitable for indigenous and non-indigenous special-needs youth, that allows for an enriching experience that values indigenous culture and affords engaging and creative ways for learning and personal growth. We will modify the "traditional" Native Skywatchers We Are Stardust workshop training with follow-up transition and support for these youth to share Stardust workshop activities in the role of afterschool club leaders.
