Dear Friend,
The Native American Jump Start to Employment Program is a link between the
employer and Native American high school graduates who want a summer job.
The summer jobs can certainly turn into life long careers.
Unemployment on some Reservations in South Dakota is 85%, so these good kids
do not have a chance for employment at a job on the reservation.
This NAJSEP program is only for summer jobs and is not an “assimilation”
program. NAJSEP is not connected to any religious group/faith or
governmental program.
Sincerely,

Scott Evans
