Want to be a partner?

At MIGIZI, we are always looking for strong partners to help us tackle not just a state-wide issue but a national issue of increasing the graduation rates of our Native students. 

​

MIGIZI, organizationally, is a powerhouse of community partners and individuals looking to challenge the odds. Gathered, our experiences and cultural understanding of our community and roots allow us to create focused, targeted curriculum and processes to engage Native students unlike any other organization. We believe that the American school system is out-dated in many aspects and could be supplemented, and even improved, with cultural and contemporary practices to better engage our students, Native or not.

Specifically with our Native students however, we have seen decades of only small gradual increases to their graduation rates. We started to think about why this was so. How do we address this and more importantly, how do we make a difference for these young people to succeed academically as well as professionally while understanding one's own identity?
