Helping Students Shine: Join Us for the Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway

A Tradition of Giving: The Annual Backpack Drive
As we gear up for another exciting school year, we want to take a moment to reflect on an initiative that holds a special place in our hearts: the Back-to-School Backpack Drive. For years, the Native Professional Advancement Center has proudly committed itself to this meaningful cause, ensuring that Native students in our community start the school year equipped with the tools they need to succeed.
This tradition is about so much more than school supplies—it's about empowerment. It’s about giving every child the confidence and resources to thrive in the classroom and beyond. With each backpack and every pencil, we are investing in the future of our young learners, helping to pave the way for their educational journey.
