Illeana’s mother, Elilah Monias, received help with school supplies for her two youngest children through Jordan’s Principle, but without a co-ordinator it wouldn’t have occurred to her to request a laptop for her daughter.
With this in mind, the Southern Chiefs’ Organization, which represents 34 First Nations in southern Manitoba, decided to start a Jordan’s Principle co-ordinator program. Last year, the advocacy group partnered with two school divisions to bring a Jordan’s Principle co-ordinator into schools. Earlier this year, the organization added seven more school divisions as partners.
The group also has co-ordinators who work with the Children’s Hospital of Winnipeg and a rehabilitation centre in the city. “They feel very open to sharing and knowing that they’re going to be respected, heard and listened to.”
