Indigenous Parent Leadership Initiative: Who We Are

Advisory Council

The Advisory Council is a volunteer collaborative and is the decision-making body of the initiative. An Advisory Council is being established in the White Earth tribal community to help connect the community to the Indigenous Parent Leadership Initiative.  The Advisory Council will assist the Program Manager, Site Coordinator & Facilitators in carrying out tasks and various functions that will make the IPLI a success.

Some of these tasks may include:

  • Participate in routinely scheduled meetings

  • Inform the public of IPLI

  • Assist in recruiting and selecting parents and community members to participate 

  • Attend community outreach events

  • Mentor IPLI participants

Advisory Council members receive compensation for their attendance at all planning meetings.  If you would like to apply to be a member, please contact Beth Ann at BethAnn@allnationsrise.com.

Participant Enrollment

The IPLI is open to anyone in the White Earth community who is interested in promoting well-being within their family structure as well as within the community.

This FREE 22-week program provides a meal, child care and a weekly stipend to participants who attend all levels of the initiative. Participants must apply and go through an interview process and commit to all 22 classes. Class size is limited to 15 participants.
