Program Development & Evaluation

The Office of Program Development and Evaluation works closely with tribal leaders and department managers to secure funding for new and existing programs and recommend program improvements to better meet the needs of Tribal membership.

Grants funds are used for a variety of programs including Head Start, the Teaching Family Home, the new Museum and Cultural Center building that will be built this year, and family violence prevention programs.

If you have ideas for new programs to meet the needs of tribal members, please don't hesitate to contact one of our staff.
