OVERVIEW
In 2023, JumpScale and Spruce Root launched the first organizational Resilience Circles to support Alaska Native impact companies and NGOs. Resilience Circles is a trauma-informed, culturally responsive program to enhance the well-being and success of growing Native-led organizations. Our goal is to strengthen the capacities of Alaska Native enterprises for ecosystem guardianship, long-term economic resilience, comprehensive well-being and community mental health.

THE OPPORTUNITY TO SCALE
NATIVE BUSINESS AND WELL-BEING
Alaska Native and Native American entrepreneurs are an essential part of building a regenerative and thriving economy rooted in well-being. With basic access to capital, networks, and culture-based well-being services, Native American entrepreneurship will grow, resulting in ripple effects throughout Tribal communities, as well as the broader business ecosystem. The time is now for Alaska Natives and Native Americans to receive priority access to reparative resources and collective healing support. Resilience Circles fosters and connects trusted healing justice support for entrepreneurs who have historically been mistreated and underserved.
