*Where is Nome?* Nome is a community of 3500 located on the Bering Sea, an 1.5 hour flight northwest of Anchorage. It is a hub for smaller Alaska Native communities, to whom KNOM broadcasts, across 100,000 sq. miles. Nome has a fully equipped gym, a remote campus of the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, and a movie theater. It is a wonderful community offering a wide range of opportunities to become involved; from community theater to volunteer ambulance service, church activities to community sports tournaments. And there is plenty of wilderness to explore. Go hiking and salmon fishing in the summer. Throw on a parka in the winter, and go crabbing on the frozen sea or snowshoeing in the snow-covered country.
*How does it work? *KNOM pays travel expenses for you to and from Nome for your year of service. Receive room & board in a warm, comfy house, and a monthly stipend. Earn $5000 to cover past or future educational expenses. Health insurance is provided.
