Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. recently signed an executive order establishing the Gadugi Corps “Day On” Employee Volunteer Program, giving employees one paid day per calendar year to participate in approved community service activities.

“This initiative builds on Cherokee Nation’s ongoing commitment to volunteerism and national service,” Chief Hoskin said. “This program will give employees a structured way and dedicated time to give back to the communities that they live and serve in. Gadugi Corps has already been a huge success and I can’t wait to see our employees joining in.”

Today Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. signed an executive order for the Gadugi Corps “Day On” Employee Volunteer Program. Through this program, Cherokee Nation employees will be able to volunteer for a project with Gadugi Corps and get paid for a day of work while doing so. This project helps employees to volunteer for causes they care about without missing work, and is yet another great example of Cherokee people helping one another. ❤️

Cherokee Nation Gadugi Corps “Gadugi Summer” participants performed volunteer work in Vinita on Tuesday. Among their projects was clean up of Eastern State Hospital Cemetery, located near the grounds of the former state mental health institution. Cherokee Nation citizen Corinne Losi of Washington reached out to Cherokee Nation advocating for volunteers to help clean up the cemetery. Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. and Cherokee Nation Deputy Principal Chief Bryan Warner put the project in the hands of Gadugi Corps, let by Shawn Crittenden, putting Ms. Losi’s advocacy into action. The project holds special significance for Ms. Losi, whose grandmother shared the name Corinne — a name given to her by her own mother, who is buried in the cemetery — making the preservation of this sacred place a deeply personal effort to honor her family’s history and memory.

District 11 Councilor Kendra McGeady, Gadugi Corps staff and Gadugi Summer volunteers, through an agreement with the Oklahoma Forensic Center, spent the day performing clean up and basic field preservation work at the historic cemetery. Eastern State Hospital, built in 1911 and closed in 2008, was integral to the Vinita economy and was succeeded by the Oklahoma Forensic Center.
