Leech Lake Day Labor/ T.E.P. Program

The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Day Labor Program gives Leech Lake Band members the opportunity to increase their job skills while helping to make a positive difference in our communities. Our mission is to give Leech Lake Band Members the skills and motivation needed to seek employment on or off the reservation. At the Day Labor Program, we hope to point our participants in the direction of gaining the confidence and tools needed to succeed in society. We hope that all of our participants will enjoy their experience with our program while, at the same time, not forgetting safety, respect, responsibility, productivity, and most importantly, integrity.
