Sunrise Healing Community Inc.
Connecting Indigenous Youth and Young Adults to Culturally Grounded Healing Resources Since 2024
Our Story
In 2024, Kiara Tanta-Quidgeon was honored with the United National Indian Tribal Youth (UNITY) 25 Under 25 Leadership Award with a platform to foster healing through cultural connectedness. To build upon and amplify her platform, she established the Sunrise Healing Community Inc. (SHC). What started as an online community has evolved into a nonprofit organization run by Indigenous youth, for Indigenous youth.
Mission, Vision, Values
Our mission is to empower Indigenous youth and young adults (ages 14-30) to foster healing through cultural and creative expression. We envision a future where our young community members have the tools they need to heal, lead, and thrive–where youth are empowered to express themselves and connect with their cultures, communities, and the land without shame or fear.
What We Offer
Through social media engagement, educational workshops, and community gatherings, SHC aims to create both virtual and physical spaces where Indigenous youth can access culturally grounded healing resources, express themselves and share their stories, and connect with peers and mentors.
