Emphasize Cultural Identity in
the College Planning Process

Culture is Strength

CollegeBound Journey empowers Indian Education Programs and Youth Services staff to emphasize culture as strength in the college planning journey for our Native American youth.  

 

Indian Education and Youth Services staff understand that Native American youth require trusting relationships, cultural relevancy, and targeted, cultural resources for academic growth and success.  These factors are also needed for college consideration.

 

When Native American culture is emphasized  in the college planning process, we can ensure our Native youth can travel towards a supportive CollegeBound Journey.
