The community of Old Crow is Yukon's only fly-in community, and is located within the Traditional Territory of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation.
Strong partnerships with the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, Chief Zzeh Gittlit School and other agencies have ensured the success of the campus programming in this most northerly Yukon community of three hundred people.
The campus building is named after Chief Alice Frost (1937-1998) who was a fierce advocate for education and instrumental in creating a College campus in Old Crow. She grew up strong in her culture with a firm value of the importance of both physical and mental fitness.
The team at the Alice Frost Campus provides a variety of services from employment skills assistance, like writing your resume, to academic advising and counselling.
The campus also offers the community of Old Crow access to computers and internet, and space to host community dinners and lunch meetings. Contact the campus to find out more.
