Two Trees Inc.

Two Trees Inc. is a 501(c)3 charitable non-profit organization dedicated to community building and cultural bridging through: cultural exchanges; empowerment events and activities; and production of multi-media materials. It was also created to carry out the vision of Lakota Rose Madison, a 17-year-old Hunk papa Lakota woman who was murdered before her vision of creating safe places for at-risk youth and having cultural exchanges could be realized. Two Trees, Inc. promotes models of service and methodologies of intercultural interaction that engage individuals and communities as pro-active agents in their own healing, especially those involved with youth recovery, wellness, and empowerment. Two Trees is honored to work in partnership with SunWatch for periodic events
