Objectives and Tasks of the ATAYAL Organization

 

September 8, 2020

As a small, but growing, organization that has faced the slowdown of the COVID-19 global economy, just as every other nonprofit organization has, the ATAYAL organization is poised to rebound and have a breakthrough. 2021 is the year we will build a solid foundation for the ATAYAL Organization and its Indigenous Bridges program to be a legacy that makes a difference for indigenous communities of the world for generations to come. We have defined the following objectives and tasks for our Volunteers, Staff, International Advisory Board, and our Board Members.
