       Thanks to volunteers and dedicated specialists in our Nation there are services that we can offer our citizens.  Our services are available for free or reduced fees for all carded members of our nation.  Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any needs that are or are not addressed on this page.  Following are four of our major areas of focus and some information about the services.  Please remember that most work is performed on a volunteer basis and is done to the best ability of those who give freely of their time and resources.  If your issues are not properly resolved by the member who is assigned to tend to your needs please contact the nation at ncnoltnation@yahoo.com for additional help. 

Education Services:  In this generation the need for an education is becoming more and more important for any and all future successes.  To help our members we have volunteers in place to help to make sure that carded members are given a fair chance to succeed in life by being provided with the necessary guidance to enroll in College or other Higher Learning facilities.  Tutoring is also available for most Pre College level subjects but limited in areas.    

Financial Services:  While there is not yet a large enough income for the Nation to provide loans for those who are struggling in today's economy we do have debt counseling and volunteers that can help you to navigate through the complex government aid agencies to help to make sure that you have the means to be fed, clothed and in a house until you can get back on your feet.

Legal Services:  Some guidance in legal matters is available, feel free to contact us to see if we can assist you.

Health Services:  The epidemic of diabetes continues to spread and so do many other maladies that did not assail us in previous years.  We have capable dieticians of varried education that can help guide you through day to day life by means of teaching you how to eat and exercise.  We hope to save you money and life my teaching good habits to live by.

       If you have any questions at all or if you need help with any of these items please don't hesitate to contact your local Reps or Elders.  For more information you can write to us at ncnoltnation@yahoo.com 

                How Can I Help?

       It takes very little to do a lot of good.  Sometimes time is easier to donate than money, sometimes vice versa.  If you're looking for ways to get involved and support your local districts or the nation as a whole please feel free to contact us. 

       The people are our first priority and there are many direct and indirect ways to help them.  On this page we are including groups that are working hard to support our ways of life and the land we live in.  Please take a close look at all of them and if there is a way to help them you will in turn be helping not only the people of our nation but all people of North America.  These groups have been prescreened and are legitimate.
