Affiliated Cultural Institutions

The principle objective of this national network is to build professional relationships with colleagues, community leaders, and organizations in partnership with NCN. The inception of this affiliation partnership is based on the need to create a core network of individuals and organizations that will respond to community needs with culturally based healing-informed practices for the well-being of all people through effective programming, services, and advocacy.
