Empowering the Next Generation

At Giizhik Consulting Services LLC, we believe youth are the heartbeat of a thriving community and the foundation of its future leadership. Our youth services aim to empower tribal youth by fostering leadership, strengthening cultural identity, and creating pathways to success. Through innovative, culturally grounded programming, we ensure that young people are equipped to shape a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

Our Unique Approach to Youth Development

Tribal Youth Specialists

We employ college students as Tribal Youth Specialists, who mentor and inspire younger generations. By engaging mentors actively pursuing higher education, we provide youth with relatable role models who understand their challenges and aspirations. This approach creates a ripple effect of leadership, connectivity, and collaboration across Indian Country.

Tailored Programming

Our programs are informed by comprehensive needs assessments involving tribal leaders, educators, parents, and youth. This ensures each initiative aligns with the unique goals and values of the community we serve.

Inclusive Programming

At Giizhik Consulting, we prioritize inclusivity in our programming, ensuring that youth of all developmental levels and abilities, including those with neurodivergencies and disabilities, can actively participate and thrive. We design activities that are adaptable to individual needs, fostering an environment where all youth can engage, learn, and grow in a supportive setting.
