Program areas at Spruce Root

The sustainable southeast partnership (ssp) is a growing collaboration of organizations and individuals whose common goal is to empower southeast Alaskan communities to strengthen cultural, ecological and economic prosperity, sustainability and resilience. We have come together to work collaboratively through this partnership because we believe that we can have greater impact by working together on the complex challenges associated with community sustainability than by working on our own.
The path to prosperity (p2p) program is a suite of progrrams including a business competition that promotes entrepreneurial activities (technical assistance) in its target communities. Over 350 businesses have participated in the program to date.
Lending activities were executed and significant efforts were committed to secure additional funding to increase available capital for lending to eligible borrowers.
Workforce development initiatives including career coaching and soft skills workshops were held, and community planning and facilitation activities were performed.
