Native Builders Online Courses
Semester-length asynchronous courses designed to help Native American high school students explore identity, gifts, community, vision, and future pathways.
Built for Schools, Districts, Indian Education Programs, and Counselors

Each course is designed to be flexible, student-centered, and easy for schools to implement.
Student Experience
Students move through weekly lessons, reflections, activities, and projects at their own pace. The course helps students better understand who they are, the strengths they carry, the people who support them, and the future they are building.
School Implementation
Each Native Builders course is 18 weeks and fully asynchronous. Schools may use the courses for Indian Education programming, counseling support, advisory, enrichment, intervention, or credit-bearing opportunities when approved by the school.
