School Clothing Program

The School Clothing Program is to provide assistance to enrolled Cheyenne and Arapaho tribal youth to ensure they have clothing for the academic year. This program is to ease the financial challenges faced by tribal families, promote school readiness, and support the well-being and success of our youth. By investing in our students, we honor our commitment to education, tradition, and community empowerment.
