Comanche Nation · YOUTH PROGRAMS
Youth Services After-School Program
After-school and youth group programming for Comanche-enrolled students aged 6 to 18, built around the program’s four focus areas of wellness, culture, citizenship and education. Sessions run at community centres, including a site at Elgin Public Schools.
Who's eligible
Tribal Citizens Only
Published eligibility for the after-school program: "Provide proof of Comanche Nation membership (C.D.I.B.)"; "Be between the ages of 6 and 18"; "Submit a completed application with all required documents"; and "Be eligible for one application per school year." The parent or guardian applying must be the legal or custodial parent or legal guardian and must complete the application, and a new application must be submitted each school year. A parent code of conduct and student code of conduct apply. The Elgin site page notes places are limited: "There is a limited amount of spots per session," for "Comanche-enrolled students ages 6-18 who attend ELGIN Public Schools," and says information about after-school programming at the other community centres will be posted later. The Nation operates a zero tolerance policy for violence, foul language and abusive behaviour, under an Executive Order of the Comanche Nation Business Committee dated 7 December 2019; verbal threats or violence toward staff may result in denial of services.
