WHO WE ARE

The Keya Foundation, Inc. is a community-rooted 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, serving communities throughout the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation. Guided by our motto, “Helping Others Help Themselves,” we work alongside community members, schools, tribal programs, organizations, and partners to strengthen the health, well-being, and capacity of our communities.

​

Our work is centered around four focus areas: Youth Programs, Community Engagement, Food Security, and Environmental Justice. Across these areas, we support community-led solutions, create opportunities for youth and families, and bring partners and resources together to address priorities identified by the people we serve.

​

At Keya, we believe in building with the community, not simply doing things for the community. We value relationships, cultural connection, collaboration, and creating opportunities for people to have a voice in the work that affects them. Our programs continue to grow and evolve in response to community needs, and we are looking for team members who share our commitment to meaningful, community-centered work.

Our team is small but mighty, and we are excited about trying new and fun things. We encourage respectful candor, authenticity, and balance on our team. We believe good work comes from people who can be themselves, speak honestly and respectfully, support one another, and know that meaningful work and a healthy life can coexist.

The Keya Foundation is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to providing a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity and are free from all forms of harassment and discrimination.
