**Public Notice: T3 Program Closures Due to Internal Investigation**
Dear Community Members and Funders,
We regret to inform you that, effective immediately, our Tribal Technology Training (T3) Non-Profit organization will no longer offer programming services after 5:00pm, on June 28, 2024. As the T3 Board of Directors, we made the decision to begin the process of dissolving the organization, due to an ongoing internal investigation into potential financial mismanagement. The integrity and transparency of our organization are of utmost importance, and this decision, while difficult, is necessary to ensure a thorough and unbiased review.
We understand the significant impact this may have on our participants, partners, and the community at large. Please know that we are working diligently to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. During this period, we will provide updates and any potential developments regarding the resumption of these programs by other alternatives.
In an effort to maintain our commitment to our mission: “Empowering our tribal communities through education,” we are going to be as transparent about this process as possible while still maintaining legal and financial obligations to our funders and our community members.
Our commitment to accountability remains steadfast, and we are taking all necessary steps to address these concerns comprehensively. We have engaged internal and external experts to conduct a full audit and review of our financial practices to ensure transparency.
For those directly affected by these closures, we are providing support and resources to help mitigate any inconvenience. Please contact our support team for assistance and information on alternative arrangements. For Technological Support, please call:

We deeply appreciate your understanding and patience during this challenging time. Our goal is to emerge from this process stronger and more resilient, continuing to serve our communities with integrity and dedication.
Sincerely,
Robin Kennedy
President, Board of Directors
