| Overview
|
| The University of Alaska Fairbanks, Bristol Bay Campus intends to use its AN/NHIAC grant to implement its "Harvesting and Caching Resources for Bristol Bay." This program assists lower income Alaska Native and community residents to address development needs in their geographically isolated rural villages. Economic development activities undertaken by this program will concentrate in three primary areas: Assisting small businesses/microenterprises; offering academic and vocational services for youth and adults; and energy conservation. Activities will occur at the main campus in Dillingham or in a village-based learning center. Traditional and local craft fairs will generate opportunities for local residents to sell their wares and receive instructions on developing business opportunities. Minority-and women-owned small businesses and young entrepreneurs will be the target audience for this economic development program. Activities in academic and vocational readiness will involve 6th - 12th grade students from four local school districts to give them a jump start on employment and/or achieving their academic goals. Selected youth will participate in leadership programs developed in partnership with two faith-based organizations and one community-based organization. In addition, adult participants will receive job training for Alaska's high demand jobs in areas such as welding, carpentry, and weatherization. Other youth and adults will participate in a vocational program developed that will support a "Training to Apprenticeship to Job" model with school districts, local businesses and Alaska's Department of Labor as partners.
