On this episode of the Little Moments Count Radio Podcast, we discover how the Indigenous Parent Leadership Initiative (IPLI) is transforming lives within the White Earth Nation as we talk with Beth Ann Dodds and Geri Goodwin. Beth Ann, IPLI program manager, utilizes her vast experience in community service to guide Native families toward empowerment. Geri is a proud graduate of IPLI's third cohort, and shares her personal journey of building deep connections within her community. We learn about the 22-week program, which intertwines childdevelopment, leadership skills, and Ojibwe culture, leading to impactful community projects and the cultivation of cultural pride.

Tune in to understand how you, too, can be part of this empowering movement, joining in the collective efforts to nurture the cultural heritage and strength of Native families.
