Ge-Niigaanizijig activities and regularly scheduled meetings are designed to inspire and motivate our youth to embrace a traditions based pro-social lifestyle free of chemicals, anti-social or risky behavior, promiscuity and dependency. These activities are offered to all eligible reservation service area youth from kindergarten through age 20.

Income verification is required. Children in families living at or below 200 percent of the poverty guideline qualify. Children who are over-income may be supported by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.

Cash incentives and awards are made to any Ge-Niigaanizijig youth who meet program participation and achievement goals.
