Native Youth Scholarships
01
OUR HEART
From the beginning, Movement Conference has carried a two-fold mission: to bring the hope of Jesus to young people across the Rocky Mountain West and to serve parents and church leaders by providing a powerful, close-to-home experience for the next generation. As Movement has grown, we’ve prayerfully sensed God leading us to make this experience more accessible to Native American communities across our region.
02
WHY THIS SCHOLARSHIP EXISTS
We understand that financial barriers can prevent Native students from attending events like the Movement Conference. Our goal is simply to remove the cost barrier so Native youth and their leaders can attend for free. We want students to encounter Jesus in a life-changing way, return home strengthened in faith, and continue walking in their calling confidently.

OUR COMMITMENT TO HONOR AND PARTNERSHIP
We honor Native culture and heritage. We recognize the strength, history, language, leadership, and identity present within Native communities, and we believe faith in Jesus does not erase culture but strengthens identity. Our heart is to approach this opportunity with humility, respect, a commitment to listening and learning, and to show honor to our neighbors in the Native Community, both near and far. We want to build relationshipsbetween Native and non-Native com-munities and walk forward together infaith. This scholarship initiative is one step toward long-term partnership and trust.
