LCO Youth Development Program
The goal of the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College
Extension Youth Development Program is to establish and provide
education through positive youth development activities on the Lac
Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Reservation and surrounding communities. Our
program efforts enhance and build the capacity of our Native American
youth in becoming healthy, productive, culturally aware, and
environmentally responsible community members. Our program has
collaborative working relationships and assists current services that
work with our LCO youth. Currently, the LCO Youth Development Program is collaborating with UW Superior and UW Extension Sawyer County to provide a local teacher training on the Living by the Seasons with the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa curriculum [link to flyer]. 1 Credit is being offered through the UW Superior Continuing Education Office. Also, the program coordinates the LCO Summer Community Garden Project located at the LCOOCC Farm. We collaborate with the Workforce Investment Act Program to act as a work site for 5 summer youth workers. The youth are involved in all aspects of the garden project and maintain a large plot along with individual elder home-based gardens. Along with learning indigenous gardening practices, the summer youth workers also participate in nutrition and financial presentations and activities. Jennifer
