Student Success Program

Minwaadiziwin "Lead A Good Life"

​
​The Bad River Student Success Program provides an alternative placement for referred youth, providing them highly structured, educational, career, leadership, social and life skill development programs to encourage them to realize their full potential as responsible and caring community members.

We partner with Bad River Tribal Programs, Ashland County Programs, Ashland School District, local Law Enforcement, and others for the purpose of diverting youth from the formal youth justice system.

​Program Goals:

• Reduce the amount of Youth Justice Referrals
• Reduce disruptive behaviors in local schools
• Address each youth’s individual needs surrounding past trauma, mental health concerns, alcohol and drug abuse (AODA) issues, and school-based anxieties.
  
• Reduce academic failure among these youth

​
​Our Club strives to achieve these goals by providing programming designed to address youth mental health, substance use issues, and other behavioral challenges in the school and community setting.


Eligibility Criteria

• Youth ages 12 to 17

Youth also experiencing: 

• Substance use issues
