Family, Friends, and Neighbors (FFN) Providers Internship
Applications open until filled

The Ojibwe Language Program Ojibwemotaadidaa Omaa Gidakiiminaang (OOG) of Fond du Lac Tribal College is pleased to announce that we are seeking candidates for a paid internship ($25 per hour/20-40 hours per week), which will provide intensive training and experience in Ojibwe immersion childcare and education to four potential FFN childcare providers.
What is an FFN provider? An FFN provider is someone who can provide legally unlicensed childcare to families. In partnership with OOG and FDL, the FFN provider will specialize in providing Ojibwe Immersion childcare to families in Minnesota. FFN providers are a frequent choice of care for families of infants and toddlers in diverse cultural communities.
Please fill out and send all required materials to us at ojibwemotaadidaa@gmail.com.
