Experience life in an American Indian community on the plains of South Dakota in this volunteer program. The Sicangu band, also known as Lakota or Rosebud Sioux, is part of the Great Sioux Nation, an alliance of seven bands who once ruled the northern plains. The Rosebud Reservation is located in one of America’s poorest areas, with over 85 percent of the residents unemployed. The people of Rosebud struggle to overcome their tragic past and create a better future for their children.

Our community partners in South Dakota have requested Global Volunteers' assistance for the local community on a variety of development projects, including:
• Helping with planning, organizing, and running a week-long summer camp for elementary youth
• Helping community members with home repair
• Supporting a local women’s shelter
• Building up the firewood supply for the brutal South Dakota winters

These are unique and meaningful community service opportunities for groups, families, and individuals.
