Powerful Opportunities for Women in Resources (POWR)
Alaska Resource Education is on a mission to empower Alaskan girls to become the next generation of women leaders. Through POWR programs ARE is showing high school girls across the state the kind of careers available in the natural resource industry. This is encouraging them to become innovative problem solvers and help tackle the big problems, all while staying in Alaska. In March a week-long POWR camp in Juneau included a chance for the campers to tour Coeur Alaska’s Kensington Mine underground and get a firsthand look at the opportunities for women in mining. Big thanks to the whole team at Kensington Mine for making this possible. Questions about any POWR program can be directed to Taylor Burgh, tburgh@akresource.org
