During the academic year, monthly Seek to Learn Academy events are organized for students through partnerships with local high schools and their Indian Education Program Coordinators. The coordinators connect with students to determine interests in colleges, majors, and careers to help design specific Academy events to each high school and its students. The goals of these events are to support high schools in creating hands-on opportunities for Native American high school students to explore college and career options while also developing college readiness skills and life skills. Travel, meals, and costs for educational activities are covered by the Seek to Learn program, so there is no cost to the high schools.

Want to share information about this opportunity with your school? The Academic Year Seek to Learn Academy Brochure is a great place to start! Or use the Academic Year Seek to Learn Academy single page version for bulletin boards.

Testimonials

My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.

I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.

It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.
