Renewing hope;
​Strengthening our
future

With the recent confirmed COVID-19 case in the Fort Thompson community, the Tokata Youth Center will remain closed for the safety of the youth and families. We will wait to open until we can be confident that we are not putting anyone at risk-- staff, youth, or the community at whole. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we all endure this difficult time. 

The past months much of our time and energy has been spent preparing, as well as encouraging, people regarding COVID-19.  TYC is a division of Diamond Willow Ministries, and we are now ministering to individuals and families of those that have tested positive and are grappling with COVID-19.  Diamond Willow Ministries is in a position to be able to help meet real on-the-ground needs (spiritual, physical, mental and emotional).  Really that is at the very core of what our role is here, being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.

We will continue to monitor health information and closely coordinate with Crow Creek Sioux Tribal leadership to determine when it will be appropriate to begin open again. Feel free to contact us through this website with any questions, needs, and concerns. 

The Tokata Youth Center serves the Crow Creek Sioux Tribal Community, and is a division of:
