Joy does outreach in the Twin Cities indigenous community as the Community Education Specialist of the American Indian Cancer Foundation. In this work, she can tell you and anyone who will listen what to do to prevent colon cancer. She has more than 30 years teaching experience in the Indigenous community at the junior high, senior high and adult levels of education. Joy taught at both the late Heart of the Earth Survival School and the Red School House. For the past 17 years, she coordinated the nationally-recognized Ogitchidag Gikinooamaagad Peer Education Program that traveled throughout Indian County teaching other Indigenous youth about health-related topics through live theater. This program developed and implemented its own culturally-specific peer education curriculum to Indigenous youth grades 7-12. Reach Joy at: jrivera@AICAF.org
