Description:

The OIO Newsletter from March 1971 highlights the work of OIO's Youth Coordinators in assisting Indian youth with their education and leadership development. The coordinators have helped over 175 students in 1970 with post-secondary education plans, college applications, and financial assistance. They also engage in community service projects and organize events such as trade fairs and youth conferences. The newsletter features profiles of young candidates running for positions in the OIO Youth Council, who express their commitment to serving and empowering their communities. Additionally, the newsletter mentions collaborations with Planned Parenthood for young mothers and the upcoming Statewide Youth Conference.
