Community Health and Development
SKC Community Health & Development (CHD) is a grant funded department that implements projects and activities to develop Healthy Living Practices (HLPs). Examples of those HLPs include fostering community through intergenerational learning, increasing physical activity (i.e., Native Games and outdoor experiences), food sovereignty efforts (i.e., gardening in the outdoor classroom, food distribution, food access, and growing self-efficacy through food preparation skill-building), health promotion and outreach, along with efforts to prevent and/or reduce the progression of substance misuse and related problems. Many of the department activities incorporate cultural learning through tribal history and language. CHD also offers student internship opportunities.
