ACTlogo2012colorQuyana to the Alaska Children’s Trust for awarding the Tundra Women’s Coalition with a primary prevention grant!  TWC will use these funds to strengthen family bonds.  The Alaska Children’s Trust (ACT) was established in 1988 with the goal of preventing child abuse and neglect throughout the state.  It’s mission is to  improve the status of children in Alaska by generating funds and committing resources to eliminate child abuse and neglect.

TWC will use these funds to further connect services between parents and children.  There will be more events for youth and parents in the children’s and TAAV programs, and weekly family activities for parents and children in the shelter.

Running these activities will be TWC’s Elder, Mary Beaver, Children’s Advocate Maya Morris, and Clinician Shelly Andrews.
