Good Life Vision Grant

What Is the Good Life Vision?

The Good Life Vision brings the LCO Child Support Program together with community partners to preserve, strengthen, and renew Ojibwe values in our LCO youth by providing opportunities to learn about our culture’s history, values, and practices to support Good Life parenting and reduce the negative effects of generations of cultural trauma. We will accomplish this together by developing culturally relevant and long-sustainable curricula and other tools for middle school, high school, and college students and young parents, as well as the development and implementation of an LCO Cultural Camp.

Vision

Young people in the Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) tribe build on cultural and spiritual practices, beliefs, and values to make choices about the future in line with a full vision of the Good Life.

Mission

Promoting economic mobility and responsible parenting through “Good Life” programs that are tribally and culturally relevant to Ojibwe youth.
