Our Services

The Tselani/Cottonwood Chapter provides essential services to the community, including water purchases, trash disposal, housing assistance, and a Summer Youth Employment Program. These resources are available to residents at an affordable cost, with housing support aimed at those in need. The chapter also offers job opportunities through its employment program, with the requirement that applicants must have been registered with the chapter for at least six months. This ensures a strong connection to the community and eligibility for available services. For more information or to access these services, community members can visit the chapter administration.
