Alaska Resource Education Continues Vital Outreach

It’s been a busy summer for Alaska Resource Education, using the break in classes to hold several fun events to help fund ARE’s core mission educating Alaska young people on resource education. This included highly- successful Coal Classic golf tournaments in Anchorage and Fairbanks. ARE is also excited to announce the award of a $20,000 grant from Wells Fargo in support of educational outreach in the communities of Naknek and Kotzebue during the 2024-25 school year. Last fall, through an initial grant form Wells Fargo, ARE’s STEM Educator traveled to Naknek to teach high schoolers, middle schoolers, and upper elementary students (left) about energy sources that help keep our communities up and running while focusing on electricity and its applications throughout their lives. This coming school year, the team looks forward to returning to Naknek, and adding a trip to Kotzebue to teach additional interactive lessons. This partnership with Wells Fargo allows ARE to reach more students across Alaska, especially those in rural communities who do not have as much access to these learning opportunities.
