• This workshop and research are sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Please RSVP to Shawn Bourque by 7/20 so we know how much food to provide. For questions about the river planning project, contact Cleo at cwhaz@ucanr.edu.
   

• A paid pre-apprenticeship program serving Blue Lake Rancheria, Hoopa Valley, Karuk, and Yurok Tribal communities that helps prepare applicants to enter and succeed in a registered apprenticeship program and/or a career in the electrical field. The Program also includes hands-on demonstrations and job site visits, such as a tour of the Blue Lake Rancheria solar microgrid during the in-person weekend. You will learn from experienced electrician trainers, professionals, and guest speakers, including instruction from the Meskwaki Nation Apprenticeship Program, as well as guest speakers from the Blue Lake Rancheria, Hoopa Valley, Karuk, Yurok Tribes, and more. The program is funded by a grant from the James Irvine Foundation. The program is provided through a collaborative effort of the Blue Lake Rancheria, Hoopa Valley, Karuk, and Yurok Tribe, who are advancing the Tribal Energy Resilience and Sovereignty project (TERAS). Due to high demand, the application process is currently closed. It is suggested to check the website on July 14, 2025 for updates on openings. Click here for more information.
