Congratulations to the 17 North Dakotans and 17 South Dakotans selected to participate in the third cohort of their respective state’s Change Networks.

From championing diversity and inclusion on boards, city councils and committees in Aberdeen to supporting vulnerable children through full-service community schools in Minot, the members of these Change Network cohorts are committed to driving positive community change where they live and work.

Change Networks provide residents of the two states and the region’s 12 Native nations with a supportive learning environment to lead change within their organizations and communities in more equitable and inclusive manners. Over the next year, the two cohorts will work one-on-one with mentors and together in group discussions while attending online learning sessions and three in-person convenings.
