Program Mission Statement: (self-reported)
The Manoomin Project works with at-risk youth, local juvenile courts and Native American Tribes to restore 7 wetlands and lakes by planting once-native wild rice. The ongoing project teaches at-risk youth an appreciation for their natural environment, native customs, and good environmental stewardship, while having fun in an outdoor setting. It’s an alternative program for youth who are on probation that teaches self-esteem, respect for American Indian faiths/traditions/culture, and the importance of protecting the environment, all this with a faith-based influence (plus additional religious input if desired by the teen).
