Currently
We are Focusing On:
- Elders Living Assistance Program
provides food, simple
medicines, utilities, and firewood to help these Elders. As they have
become elderly, it has become more difficult for them to support
themselves.
When asked how we can help,
our Elders indicated that helping families the same way we help them,
is one of the most important ways we can do. YEW has developed a
variety of ways to benefit children and family.
- Elders Wisdom Program
provides food, simple
medicines, utilities, and firewood to help these Elders. As they have
become elderly, it has become more difficult for them to support
themselves.
- Youth & Family Emergency Relief Program
has provided medical assistance for over a dozen emergency situations
in the community, in addition to a handful of living assistance
situations.
- Jason's Kids
provide funds for extra curricular activities no longer covered by the
funding budget at California School for the Blind.

vocational development, however in certain contexts, we also assist

challenge.

fundraisers for Lance Armstrong Foundation Cancer Research and the
Wounded Warrior Project.
- Taa-naash-kaa-da Wilderness Preserve
Imagine a place where you can experience the land as it was 100 years
ago. Imagine a place, long revered by the Native Americans, where
eagle's shadow sweeps the landscape, a place where horses run free,
traditional medicinal plants grow and Elders harvest from spring
through fall.
- GreenStar Program

medicines, utilities, and firewood to help these Elders. As they have
become elderly, it has become more difficult for them to support
themselves.

and resource for it's Circles in education and spirituality, providing
healing and educational programs to women, and serving as the liaison
between indigenous Elders and WisdomKeepers and family communities for
the development, growth, and sustenance of life on this planet.

who are interested in pursuing programs inspite of financial
difficulties.

- LlamaLove Animal Assisted Therapy
These short sessions are an enjoyable and
effective way to develop confidence, social skills and physical skills
whilst providing an educational and interactive experience for disabled
or disadvantaged adults or children.
How They Work
These long-term projects
strengthen and bring together the many strands of our work – creating
synergies and applying resources and expertise where it is needed the
most.
Building on our past
work, they aim to accelerate and magnify large community wins across
our priority situations, programs and preservation areas – and so
achieve the necessary "transmutational healing" to achieve our twin
goals of preserving our Sacred Mother and empowering human resonance.
Each one taps into YEW's
ability to forge collaborative, creative solutions that meet the needs
of both people and nature – our local credibility and our global reach,
our deep expertise, our access to decision-makers, and our partners.
