Shareholder Outreach in Fort Yukon

In 1992, Doyon shareholders voted unanimously to keep enrollment open for the children of shareholders. Open enrollment means that any child of a shareholder born after 1971, who meets the requirements, can become a Doyon shareholder. To be enrolled in Doyon, Limited, a child must be a a) Child of an original Doyon class A, B C, or D shareholder; b) One-quarter or more Alaska Native blood quantum; and c) Born after December 18, 1971.

As a result of open enrollment, the number of Doyon shareholders has increased. Currently, 45% of Doyon shareholders are under 30 years of age. These young shareholders are Doyon’s future.

Shareholder Outreach educates youth on the many career opportunities available at Doyon. Doyon encourages youth readiness for these employment opportunities.

Doyon advocates that youth:
