Our Services

The Adult Basic Education Program provides support for students seeking to complete high school equivalency examinations, or are in need of upgrades in basic core courses (math, English, etc.). For the current academic year, TCC provides Adult Basic Education funding consideration to tribal members enrolled to Birch Creek, Nenana, and Takotna.

Through annual individual agreements, Tanana Chiefs Education Department works with various tribal entities to deliver their Johnson-O’Malley Programs. For the current year, Tanana Chiefs is working with Dot Lake, Eagle, Grayling, Healy Lake, Holy Cross, Minto, Nenana, Telida, and Tetlin.

The purpose of the program is to provide supplementary financial assistance to meet the unique and specialized educational needs of Alaska Native and American Indian children. To assure parent participation and control, the JOM Act requires an active and involved Parent/Indian Education Committee and a completed Education Plan to guide the program. The TCC Education Department works collaboratively with our tribes and their established parent committee to jointly develop and delivery their program.

TCC GO focuses on providing career exploration activities and guidance for high school students. The program pays tuition for dual-credit courses (courses that meet both high school and college requirements), provides access to Pathful Explore (an online career exploration site), reimburses internet expenses and more.

To better serve the TCC region, Cultural Programs is developing programming to:

  • Help connect the TCC community to heritage-strengthening activities such as Native Youth Olympics
