Who We Are

Boys at the Cheyenne River Youth Project® in South Dakota.
Boys at the Cheyenne River Youth Project® in South Dakota.
RUNNING STRONG FOR AMERICAN INDIAN YOUTH® began in 1986 as a project of Christian Relief Services Charities.  Today, Running Strong is led by an American Indian Board of Directors that strives to build the capacity of communities, grassroots Indian organizations, families, and individuals to leverage their strengths and solve problems. 
 
OUR MISSION is to help American Indian people meet their immediate survival needs – food, water, and shelter – while implementing and supporting programs designed to create opportunities for self-sufficiency and self-esteem.

OUR PROGRAMS include:
• Food distribution and nutrition
• Water wells
• Youth programs
• Cultural and language preservation
• Housing assistance 

OUR ADVISORY BOARD is composed of a special group of leaders in American Indian communities across the United States. They are an important resource to ensure that our programs preserve, promote and respect Indian culture and values.
