About Wings

Mission Statement
The mission of Wings is to enhance the quality of life for American Indian youth. In partnership with Native communities, Wings uses running as a catalyst to empower American Indian and Alaskan Native youth to take pride in themselves and their cultural identity, leading to increased self esteem, health and wellness, leadership and hope, balance and harmony. Programs

Measurement
A Wings survey conducted in 2000, showed a 99% high school graduation rate, with 94% of our participants going on to college. Results of the survey indicated that overall, WOA participants are attaining a higher level of education, have lower incidences of arrests, less use of alcohol and illegal drugs, are having their first child a year or two later than average, and they are more physically active and maintaining healthier lives than their same-age peers in the larger American Indian and general populations. Our Programs
Wings reaches Indian children not only through grassroots programs in Indian communities in partnership with private sector including foundations, corporations and individual donors. After twenty-three years of youth development services, Wings has served over twenty three thousand young men and women. Included in Wings programming is the National Cross Country Championship program designed to elevate competitive all Native teams and individual runners. Since first participating the National Junior Cross Country Championships in 1988, the Wings-sponsored teams have earned over twenty national championship titles. Additionally, Wings provides speakers, clinicians and other assistance to wellness programs, conferences, athletic banquets, fairs, races, et al. Wings also distributes Spiked/Waffle running shoes to our Native youths and Track-in-the-Box units to Indian running clubs, walking and wellness programs. Our Staff

TOHAJIILEE CAMP 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

After wrapping up one of our biggest camps of the summer in Shiprock, our East Team was back on the road to Tohajiilee for another two days of running, fitness, and leadership activities.

Back-to-back camps are no easy task, but our facilitators continue to show up with the same energy and enthusiasm for every community they visit. Their dedication to serving Native youth is what keeps Wings moving all summer long.

Thank you to all of the youth, families, and community members who joined us in Tohajiilee. We loved spending time with your community and appreciate everyone who helped make this camp a success.

We'll see you again soon!

SHIPROCK CAMP @ SHIPROCK HIGH SCHOOL 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

What an incredible two days in Shiprock!

Both our East and West Teams came together at Shiprock High School to welcome one of our largest groups of campers this summer. It was amazing to see so many youth show up ready to run, learn, and challenge themselves.

Throughout the camp, participants took part in running and fitness activities, team games, leadership lessons, and learned how movement and wellness can support them both on and off the trail.

A huge thank you to Shiprock High School, our community partners, and all of the families who made this camp possible. And to our facilitators—thank you for bringing your energy and passion to every activity. Your dedication is what makes camps like this so special.

Thank you, Shiprock, for an unforgettable camp. We can't wait to see you again!

Meet our 2026 Wings of America Head Facilitators!

For the past month, these four young leaders have been leading Running & Fitness Camps across Native communities, helping create safe, welcoming, and memorable experiences for hundreds of Native youth.

Head Facilitators are selected for their leadership, dedication, and commitment to the Wings mission. Throughout the summer, they mentor fellow facilitators, help coordinate camp operations, build relationships with community partners, and support their teams both on and off the field.

Today, we're excited to officially introduce Kameron Eustace, Bearren Kee, Glendale Allen, and Kyle Awelagte. Each brings their own story, experiences, and passion for giving back to Native youth.

Swipe through to learn more about what inspired them to become Head Facilitators, what they hope campers take away from this summer, and the impact they're making in communities across Indian Country.

Thank you, Kameron, Bearren, Glendale, and Kyle, for your leadership, dedication, and for inspiring the next generation of Native runners and leaders. 🧡

MONTEZUMA CREEK CAMP @ WHITEHORSE HIGH SCHOOL 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

After wrapping up camp at Ojo Encino Day School, our East Team hit the road and headed north to Montezuma Creek, Utah for another two days of running, fitness, leadership, and fun at Whitehorse High School.

While this was one of our smaller camps of the summer, the energy and enthusiasm from participants made it a memorable one. These camps remind us that it's not about the size of the group—it's about showing up for youth and creating opportunities in every community we visit.

A huge shoutout to our East Team facilitators, who worked back-to-back camps and continued to bring their energy, leadership, and commitment to every participant. Their dedication to serving Native youth across the Southwest is what makes these camps possible.

Thank you to Whitehorse High School and the Montezuma Creek community for welcoming us. We hope to see you again soon!
