The Unalaska Learning Center is hosting a grand opening for its new building this weekend. Part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Bristol Bay campus, the center was previously located next to the high school’s woodshop. Now, it’s in the former alternative education building. "We have this large open space much more welcoming," said Jill Spetz, instructional services manager for the center.
Youth Leadership Forum slated
The virtual Bristol Bay Youth Leadership Forum is scheduled for March 23-25, 2021. Students in grades 9-12 from Southwest Region School District, Lake and Peninsula School District, Bristol Bay Borough School District and Dillingham City School District are invited to apply.
Students attending the virtual forum will have the opportunity to participate in cultural activities, learn critical work-readiness and leadership skills, and take part in presentations and dialogues focused on community initiatives, current issues impacting Native communities, and college and vocational career opportunities.
Student applications are due Feb. 26, and can be submitted online at bit.ly/virtualBBYLFapp. More information and a copy of the application can also be downloaded at www.utbb.org/calendar-of-events/2021/virtualbbylfapp and submitted by fax or email.
