developing leaders
"Thank you! This is what our communities need!" - BeeJay
The lonesome remoteness of the Alaskan bush can also be its appeal. However,
for those working to improve their communities it often means they are working
alone and without support. Transforming Leaders is designed to develop and
strengthen regional support systems of leaders and natural helpers.

they work to serve those around them.

Transforming Leaders: rural Alaska
"The song is back in my heart..." - Karl
The rural communities in Alaska lead the nation in rates of suicide, poverty,
and sexual, substance and domestic abuse. Initially this appears bleak, but
we see tremendous hope. We are encouraged by those who have looked at
seemingly overwhelming odds and, instead of running, have decided to stand
and face them.
Through the Transforming Leaders program, Beyond Borders walks alongside
these who serve, bringing life and hope to those in need. Transforming Leaders
walks the extra mile with these leaders. It is a process where they receive the
support, training and encouragement they need to turn their communities
around.
