Our Services

Community Development Initiative Lapwai (CDI Lapwai) provides culturally rooted, community-led programs that strengthen families, preserve culture, and support holistic wellness for Indigenous and underserved communities.

Our services are designed to honor tradition while addressing modern challenges, centering healing, education, creativity, and economic empowerment.

Healing Through Hip Hop (HTHH) is a culturally grounded, evidence-based program that supports youth and families through music, storytelling, art, and community connection. Rooted in hip hop culture and Indigenous values, HTHH uses songwriting, beat-making, visual art projects, and creative expression to help participants build confidence, emotional awareness, and healthy coping skills. Youth also engage in community-based projects that strengthen leadership, responsibility, and pride in their culture and neighborhood, turning creativity into healing, purpose, and positive change.
