Help WISE reach our fund-raising goal of $2,500 for the Bruce James Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship ensures that every child has the opportunity to attend WISE's fee-based programs. Last year, this scholarship enabled 13 youth to attend Aquatic Ecology Camp, Geology Camp, and the Copper River Stewardship Program. To donate simply drop a check in the mail or visit our Giving Tuesday Campaign by using the Donate now button. Thanks for supporting our youth! WISE is hiring! We are accepting applications through the end of November for the position of Summer Program Assistant. For more information please see the employment page, call the office at (907) 822-3575, or email Robin Mayo, Executive Director robin@wise-edu.org |

About Our Name
WISE is a nonprofit organization founded in 2002 with the mission of providing science and environmental education for Alaska's Copper River Valley. Our full name, Wrangell Institute for Science and Environment, references the nearby Wrangell Mountains, a symbol of the place we serve. Science, Environment, and the word Institute were included to show our educational focus. The happy combination of letters giving the acronym "WISE" was a positive factor in the final selection of the name. WISE has no connection or affiliation with the former BIA school known as Wrangell Institute. |
