Genevieve is a student at the University of Alaska Anchorage. She is currently pursuing her degree in Early Childhood Education, and would like to teach kids with special needs after she graduates. She has worked with Camp Fire for almost four years, and was a Camp Fire kid herself for 10 years. She is excited to work at Susitna this school year as it was her own elementary school. She's ecstatic to continue to serve her community with Susitna as her new home base!

The Camp Fire Alaska main office operates on the ancestral land of the Dena’ina people. Camp Fire Alaska runs programing on the lands of the Athabascan, Yup’ik, Chup’ik, Sougpiaq, and Inupiaq peoples. We value and thank them for their current and historic commitment to and protection of this land. We pledge to assist, in partnership, in the environmental stewardship of these lands. We strive to learn more about the history of the Native peoples of Alaska and the historic trauma they have suffered. We commit to being an active ally through activities, actions, and organizational decisions and practices. We understand that this is a dynamic process through which our Land Acknowledgement practices, and statement will evolve as we receive feedback from tribal partners and acquire a deeper understanding of and from the Native peoples of Alaska..  (v2)
