About the Alaska Parent Information and Resource Center Partnership
The Alaska Parent Information and Resource Center (AKPIRC) grant is a network of joint services to support families from identified cultural groups within the Anchorage, Copper River, and Yupiit School Districts.

Services are provided through a partnership between the Southeast Regional Resource Center (SERRC), RurAL CAP Parents as Teachers (PAT) program, and the school district, and are connected to you by the Language and Cultural Liaison (LCL) in your school district.
