Leave the Couch Project: Learn to Cook & Get Active!

This project is for Native youth and friends (12–18 years old) who would like to learn to cook simple, delicious meals and then work off the calories! Each date in the series will feature a different dish to learn—and even better, EAT!—and have a FREE and fun physical activity to do. Youth who attend at least 9 events total will receive a cash incentive!

The Leave the Couch Project is a Native youth Healing Centered Engagement project by Samira and S’Nya Sanchez. Both are enrolled members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and are originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Samira will be a sophomore and S’Nya a senior at Legacy High School. Samira and S’Nya want their peers to be active, healthy, and engaged in the community!

Sponsored by the Sacred Pipe Resource Center, through the generosity of Gen-Indigenous. For questions or more information, contact Cheryl at (701) 426-1315 or email .
