MSU Extension is offering a new ‘Building Strong Sovereign Nations (BSSN) Teen Fellowship’ program to select teens age 15 and older, who are interested in leadership, civics, history, reading & writing, and who are of Native American lineage, or members of one of the 12 tribal nations across Michigan. This Fellowship is led by MSU Extension Educators responsible for the award-winning BSSN workshop series for tribal leaders. These new Teen Fellows will use and grow their research, writing and interpersonal skills to make the BSSN workshops relevant to tribal youth and to add value to the adult tribal leader experience.
