Greetings community!


We appreciate you contributing to ITEP’s larger goal of increasing the number of Native teachers serving tribal nations. We reached our $15,000 goal!

Your donation supports outstanding Indigenous teacher candidates in the program and graduates who are currently teaching in schools that serve Native youth. Your gift will bring in more cultural Knowledge Holders to mentor ITEP educators to infuse Indigenous knowledge, values, and languages into teaching and learning materials. Thank you for your continuous support!



Sincerely,

The ITEP team, candidates, & teachers!
