The Bethel Extension office is located on Alaska’s Kuskokwim River about 400 miles from Anchorage in southwest Alaska. Bethel is the regional hub, with a population of about 6,200. It is surrounded by many ºÚÁÏÉçappNative communities, primarily Yu’pik and Cu’pik, which are only accessible by air or seasonally by snowmachine, boat or via a winter ice road on the river.
Outreach is dedicated to 4-H and youth development, merging modern technology with cultural customs, and introducing digital literacy to underserved communities while honoring their heritage. By infusing culturally relevant content and approaches, such as indigenous languages and storytelling, Bethel’s 4-H programs empower youth with new skills while preserving their cultural identities.
