Alaska Natives

Recruiting locally in the Alaska bush

Almost 90% of RurAL CAP's 59 VISTA and AmeriCorps members come from the rural and remote Alaska villages where they serve. These tribal members help their communities develop environmental protection, energy education, and wellness programs.

RurAL CAP puts recruitment in the hands of traditional hosts such as tribal and city councils, but they provide everything the sites need to do the job.
