As the winter school semester continues, TWC’s Youth Services staff is planning their semester of school travel. Every year, schools from various districts in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta request an opportunity to receive safety classes from Youth Services staff for all of their students. A safe/unsafe touch class for K-2 is offered, along with an anti-bullying class for older elementary students. For middle and high school, a teen dating violence clas/healthy relationships class is offered; peer taught by TWC’s TAAV members. In the Fall 2012 semester we traveled to Napaskiak, Atmautluak, Unalakleet, Nunam Iqua, and Mountain Village. In February we traveled to Tuluksak for their educational summit and have plans to travel to Akiachak, and Goodnews Bay this semester as well. If people are interested in having staff come to your community school, please contact Eileen at TWC–543-3444.
