Standing Star provides the monetary resources to enable Native American women to take three months of self-defense, kickboxing, or martial arts classes in their area. We partner with ally businesses that offer these classes and workshops to provide discounted class costs for Standing Star participants, making funding go further. (Classes are always free to the women we serve.)
Standing Star travels to Indian reservation community centers and urban Native programs to conduct self-defense workshops. In-person instruction can be especially powerful when learning a physical and interactive concept like self-defense. The intention is to make these Standing Star sessions stand apart from other self-defense classes by making them as Native-culture celebratory as possible.
