Youth Education & Activities (YEA) consists of three components—academic, cultural and leadership—along with other services such as transportation. Priority is given to enrolled members of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe attending classes full-time in grades Head Start through 12th grade. Some activities require that we open eligibility to the entire community. Most activities are free, especially to low-income families.
