RAHI is a unique six-week college prep program at UAF that helps rural and Alaska Native students explore higher education, earn college credits, and participate in enriching activities. As a Tutor Counselor, you'll play a central role in shaping the student experience. From tutoring and mentoring to leading recreational events and building a supportive community, you'll inspire students to grow academically and personally.
