Send Native Youth Filmmakers to the National Stage

Help 303 Indigenous Productions share their message—culture, community, and connection is medicine—at the 2026 NICWA Conference

Eight young Native filmmakers from Denver are ready to share their story with the nation. Will you help get them there?

303 Indigenous Productions is an all-Native youth digital storytelling group born out of the Denver Indian Family Resource Center's Wakanyeja youth program. These young people—many with lived experience in the foster care system—created a powerful film called Concrete Warriors that carries a message they want every urban Native youth to hear: culture, community, and connection is medicine.

Now they've been invited to present their film at the 2026 National Indian Child Welfare Association Conference in Oklahoma City, where child welfare professionals from across the country will learn directly from the young people they serve.

Your donation will cover travel, lodging, meals, and conference registration for eight youth presenters and their chaperones. Every dollar helps these young leaders build confidence, develop professional skills, and amplify their voices on a national platform.

This isn't just a trip—it's an investment in the next generation of Native storytellers and advocates.

Our Goal: $15,000

Help us meet our deadline of March 15 to finalize travel. Share this campaign, make a gift, and help 303 Indigenous Productions bring Concrete Warriors to NICWA.
