The Alaska Blood Bank visits the Alaska Job Corps on regular intervals, every few months. Last week’s visit resulted in 28 donations and 26 pints of blood. In addition to being a public service, students learn the results of good will and citizenship. These soft skills translate well to their later employment when their companies or employers ask for team efforts. Remembering always to share and give back to your community is a lesson that the Alaska Job Corps repeats and repeats until it is both a way of life and part of the culture.
