This project will create a Native youth mentorship program designed to uplift tribal traditions, food sovereignty and gathering practices. It will also retain and increase access to culturally inclusive COVID-19 messaging developed for the safety of our community members and reservation residents.

The Turtle Mountain Youth Ag Leadership is a program to inform, educate, involve, and empower youth to enter ag-related careers, building on and sustaining our efforts to build Food Sovereignty for the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians.

This project will create a community garden which will primarily serve the Elders in our community. It will increase our capacity for food security, and promote health and nutrition benefits. The community garden will utilize our existing resources, such as the agriculturally zoned land, knowledge, and enthusiasm of members.

In the coming year, we intend to improve our organizational capacity. We will accomplish this by increasing our online presence, evaluating efficacy of our programs, and utilizing funds to increase staffing. This will enable us to reach communities statewide, make and retain meaningful partnerships, and stabilize program management.
