What is Loving Service?

Loving Service comes from our founders' desire to tap into the inherent need that we all have as humans to give a bit of ourselves to others. Loving Service is individuals providing the human-to-human element of serving others - through actions, through understanding, and through addressing needs from the lens of cooperation and not dictation. We see it as working and volunteering out of a deep desire to affect positive change using strength-based approaches to addressing systemic inequities. NHI aims to support the priority population of Indigenous and BIPOC communities, and is open to serving all communities by building the next generation of leaders, healers, and social change-agents. We strive to provide supportive communities for healthy movement and encourage community development that focuses on solutions rather than problems.

Our Vision

The Native Health Initiative (NHI) is achieving health equity through Loving Service (the human-to-human element of wanting to serve others) with Indigenous Communities.

Our Mission

NHI is a community-driven partnership working toward health equity through Loving Service. We value the Indigenous wisdom and knowledge of our communities.
