Tribal Capacity
Building capacity to enhance local environmental management
Communities in rural Alaska are faced with many unique and complex environmental issues. ANTHC’s Tribal Capacity and Training program provides technical assistance and training to Tribal governments to build capacity and enhance local environmental program management.
Intro to GAP:
The Indian General Assistance Program (IGAP) is an EPA Grant given to Tribes to address environmental concerns. If you are new to the IGAP program, this training will help you learn how to navigate the grant process from writing work plans and budgets to proposals and quarterly reports. This training is open to anyone: environmental coordinators, Tribal leaders and administrators etc. Whether you have an IGAP award or you work with tribes, you will gain new skills over these three days.
7 Generations:
7 Generations addresses village environmental issues for future generations of Alaska. During this interactive workshop, participants will learn a community-based approach for developing local environmental plans. The training also focuses on team-building, community involvement, identifying environmental concerns that can impact health, and learning about ways to address local issues.
7 Generations Climate Change Adaptation Planning:
This 3-day interactive training will teach you how to craft environmental plans with a focus on climate change adaptation. Come prepared to brainstorm and collaborate on solutions for the future! You will walk away with a good understanding of climate change adaptation and what it means for your community and tools to address climate change impacts. In-person attendance on all three days is required to receive a mailed certificate.
