About Us
CDI Lapwai was created in response to long-standing gaps in culturally responsive services for Native and rural communities. Too often, programs are designed without community voice, cultural understanding, or lived experience.
We built CDI Lapwai to change that.
Our organization grew from grassroots work in youth mentorship, cultural education, creative healing, and community organizing. Over time, this work evolved into a holistic model that supports individuals, families, and community leaders, centered on dignity, accountability, and collective responsibility.
