 Russell Williams, Jr, Arctic Access Elder & Disability Resource Coordinator. |
Arctic Access has been working since 1993 to address the unique challenges of people with disabilities living in Kotzebue, Nome and the surrounding villages including Point Hope. We are
fortunate to have donated office space at Maniilaq’s Ferguson Building in Kotzebue as well as at the City of Nome’s XYZ Senior Center. We are a 501c3 not-for-profit organization, and a majority of our board and staff are people who have disabilities.
Our Goals remain unique to these remote regions of Alaska:
| 1. | Outreach & Public Awareness |
| 2. | Information & Referral |
| 3. | Individual & Systems Advocacy |
| 4. | Peer Support & Skills Training |
| 5. | Deinsitutionalization & Diversion |
| 6. | Consumer Services |
More information about these goals can be found here.
Grant funds provided through the Alaska Division of Vocational Rehabilitation of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
