Cultural Programming

The strengthening of one's cultural identity leads to hope and self efficacy for Native Youth. The teaching of locally based practices, values, and traditions will positively impact Native youth, using local wisdom and knowledge. Two Feathers Native American Family Services offers a number of different cultural activities throughout the year. 

    A.C.O.R.N. Youth Wellness

    Two Feathers' A.C.O.R.N. Youth Wellness Program started as a multi-year California Department of Public Health, Reducing Disparities Project. It has since grown and has become a signature program for Two Feathers. Through this program, Native American youth 9 to 18 years old learn about cultural values and how they apply physically, mentally, spiritually, and culturally throughout our everyday lives. Youth also participate in cultural activities throughout the year. We strive to instill in our A.C.O.R.N. program: (A)ppreciation of our whole selves; (C)onnecting language, community, and culture; (O)pportunity and access; (R)elationships with others, and (N)urturing nature and spirit.
