At Empowered Voice Consulting, our mission is to provide comprehensive support to non-Native School Leaders serving in predominantly Native schools. We offer coaching, professional development, and strategic planning services specifically designed to promote culturally affirming practices and facilitate meaningful collaboration with Native communities. Our approach aims to uphold Native Educational Sovereignty, decolonize educational practices, and prioritize the integration of Indigenous Knowledge into school settings.
