Migizi Communications

Indigenous Pathways:Indigenous Pathways brings career development and income to youth ages 14-24 who are either currently enrolled in school or want to re-enroll in a diploma or GED program. We offer a pathway in media and social media marketing (First Person Productions) and STEM education dedicated to sustainable, green energies (Green Tech Pathway). Youth are paid $13.75 per hour for up to 60 hours over 10 weeks during afterschool 4 days a week. They may pursue an internship with a partner organization or with the Organization for contracted projects once training is complete.

Best Buy Teen Tech Center:Through the Best Buy Teen Tech Center (BTTC), MIGIZI will continue its pursuit of raising on-time graduation rates and hands-on learning opportunities for Indigenous students, which will help MIGIZI provide equal access to technology that opens a wide world of opportunities. In the BBTTC, students can work on academic assignments and career training projects that will develop their skills as leaders and launch internships offered through MIGIZI employer partnerships.

Cultural, Leadership, and Academic Support:Afterschool, youth can partake in our virtual or in-person tutoring, cultural and educational support 4 days a week, the Native youth leadership council, and work with staff to develop quarterly Individual Educational Plans with identified goals for academic, culture connections, community engagement and well-being. We provide in-school time support with St. Paul and Minneapolis Indian Education classrooms and cultural/wellbeing groups and field trips in 4 suburban districts.
