CHANGE THE WORLD!

The election is over. The work is just beginning.

SPRC is seeking American Indian people from the Bismarck-Mandan-Lincoln community to serve on one of four (4) Community Councils to address local issues: Law and Order, Housing & Homelessness, Civic Engagement, and Native Youth.

• Commit to an individualized plan for learning and awareness;
• Provide on-going Native community engagement;
• Participate in a group project pertaining to an identified need based on data.

Community Council members will:

• Receive a regular monthly stipend for participation;
• Manage an expense account for materials needed for individualized learning and projects;
• Be provided lunch for regular meetings.
