THE CHEYENNE RIVER YOUTH PROJECT®

From their website:
The Cheyenne River Youth Project®  was created and continues to operate in the spirit of volunteerism. Without volunteers, willing to give their time and energy to our mssion, we simply would not be the organization that we are today. Volunteers bring many different gifts and talents to CRYP and we strive to challenge these individuals and show them where they can be best utilized, so that they will feel a true part of our efforts. Most importantly, they are responsible for caring for our children. This is no small task, but rather the most significant contribution that a volunteer can make. When we place our children in the hands of volunteers, we are trusting them with our future.

People come from all over the world to volunteer with the Cheyenne River Youth Project® and they accept service groups, alternative spring break projects, and individuals.
