| Overview
|
| The University of Alaska Fairbanks, Kuskokwim Campus (KuC) intends to use its Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities (AN/NHIAC) grant to fund activities for their "Project-Intentional Change for Community Betterment." This project is a collaborative venture among KuC, Yupiit Piciryarait Cultural Center (YPCC), State of Alaska Court System's Bethel Therapeutic Court (BTC), Regional Adult Basic Education (ABE) Center, Yuut Elitnaurviat (YE-The People's Learning Center or the regional vocational-technical training center) and Tundra Women's Coalition (TWC-the regional domestic violence and sexual assault prevention and victims service organization). The Women who come to TWC are among the most underserved and impoverished residents of rural Alaska. This partnership will assist between 250 to 300 individuals and more directly benefit approximately 100 participants who will build basic job skills and enter the workforce. Growth opportunities will include careers in culinary arts, computers/internet, retail, hospitality industry, construction trades and small business planning to develop economic sustainability while maintaining personal and cultural dignity. Those who complete the program will gain the confidence to enter the job market or start small businesses of their own.
