(Herein called N.A.S.H.) Operated by Warm Springs tribal member James Wolfe and wife Patricia GoldenHawk, Native American Self Help was founded by people who have "been there" and overcome their struggles. N.A.S.H. was formed in response to the need for an organization which incorpo rates support with healing. At this time, we are an all-volunteer organi zation. A volunteer board of directors holds responsibility for overall management of the organization. In dividuals are elected to join this di verse group of concerned citizens by other board members. We are com mitted to helping ourselves and others to heal and stay healthy. We are committed to helping those who wish to return to or learn their individual traditions and culture with respect, dignity and honor to ourselves, our people and our ancestors. We also help those who may not be Native American. This group is Spiritual based and has the support and guid ance of a Traditional Elder and Spiri tual Leader who has been doing prison work and AlcoholDrug counseling for many years. We are a non-profit organization registered in the State of Oregon, and have received our Federal 501 (c) (3) status as a Foundation. What are N.A.S.H goals? Our immediate goals are to de velop and provide immediate refer ral to resources such as housing, jobs, support and treatment for those coming out of prison or treatment and off the streets.

We assist those wanting contact with their tribes for information, enrollment, and connecting with elders. The program provides transportation for indi viduals from prison to treatment, to meetings, to job interviews, and to various reservations, incl uding those out of state. We sponsor a support bridge between those coming out of ; circle at 635 SW 19th Ave. 123 i,n prison or off the streets and spiritual, tribal and treatment facilities; be tween the Western and indigenous traditions; and among peoples of all faiths. It provides important learning's and healing experiences for people who are searching for a way it integrate their spirituality and their healing. What programs and services does N.A.S.H. offer?

You'll always be Portland, OR 97214. the center of my earth. God blessed DeWayne Charley, Travel us with you! I'll always love you! Consultant From jour Dad Happy Birthday to my brother Samuel Scott. Wishing you a fun time on your special day. From jour sister Cigany Scott "Dad I finally decided what I'm going to be," the high school sophomore exclaimed. "I want to be a zoologist." "What's a zoologist?" Dad inquires. "I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with animals and I love animals." "I thought you wanted to be an accountant." "I did! but an accountant came to our class last week. Do you realize those guys are always inside? And besides, that was last week. "And the week before that you wanted to be an astronaut. I don't think you know what you want." Dad is right. Too many high school students don't know what job or career they might find rewarding. What's worse, they have no experience on which to base a decision. So how can you help your child gain that experience? School To Work (STW) just may have the answer. Students enrolled in STW are placed in businesses that can give them the direct, hands-on experience they need to choose a job or career that is right for them. You might say its like taking a career for a test drive. In doing so, students gain valuable insight into their abilities and interests as well as the world of work. And there are other benefits. STW students begin to understand how skills learned in school are used in the world of work. The result is more students stay in school. Further, mentorships can turn into Summer jobs. There are currently over 200 opportunities for students in Warm Springs and Madras. One may be just right for your student. Get your daughter or son thinking about w hat they might like to do after high school. Then encourage them to talk to their counselor or STW facilitator about enrolling in STW. Give him or her the opportunity to kick a career tire, look under its hood and take it for a test drive. You can reach the 509-J STW office at 475-3292.
