In this episode of CollegeBound Journeys, we delve into the crucial need for college planning that prioritizes cultural factors alongside traditional metrics like GPA and test scores for Native American students. Join us as we discuss the limitations of current college counseling tools and methods that often overlook the unique aspirations and challenges faced by Native youth, which can lead to discouragement and missed opportunities.

We'll highlight the CollegeBound Journey program, a culturally supportive initiative designed to connect Native students with colleges that offer robust support services, cultural programs, and financial aid. Discover how this approach creates a more inclusive and equitable college experience, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment for students as they pursue their academic and career goals.

Tune in for insights on how honoring Native culture in the college planning process can transform the educational landscape for our youth!
