Stronger together.

Native Strength Network serves Native American communities with a holistic, peer-led approach to wellness, addressing individual needs with love and compassion.

Thanks to a generous grant from WELS Christian Aid and Relief, our nonprofit vision became a reality. Our Board of Directors and Executive Director are dedicated to creating sustainable, community-based services. NSN is approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission and has received 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

We're changing the game.

It has taken collaboration, commitment, and teamwork to “create” Native Strength Network for what it is - and for what it will become.
