My Nonprofit Reviews

This is a fabulous, relatively new, organization that is helping low-income and homeless women; instead of just claiming to provide educational experiences, they are actually doing it; providing women in shelters a safe place to be during the day, and teaching skills they'll be able use.
So many people in New Mexico are jobless right now that finding work after a traumatic experience, or after jail or overcoming addiction. The skills these women are learning helps build confidence, and helps the women learn a skill that will allow them to have a flexible schedule.

This is one of the most exciting, interesting and valuable organizations I've come across. Taking an open and nurturing attitude towards education of young people from not only Southeast Alaska, or even just Alaska, but across the country, the Fine Arts Camp run by Alaska Arts Southeast gave my children memorable experiences that increased their understanding, appreciation and abilities from grades 7-12. My son is looking forward to returning in a year or two as a counselor, adviser, or maybe just volunteer.
If I lived in Sitka, I'd be reporting to volunteer duty on the newest project of Alaska Arts Southeast--the renovation and rejuvenation of the historic Sheldon Jackson College campus, for use by the Fine Arts Camp and other arts and education groups who may want to help support and use the campus outside of the camp's needs.
Current director, Roger Schmidt has ushered the camp into exciting new directions with the backing of a strong and remarkable board.
Every penny is well-spent and Alaska Arts Southeast seems to be able to increase each penny a hundred-fold to take the organization in captivating and wonderful new directions.
