The program operates in cooperation with regional communities and organizations with involvement from statewide industry representatives and educators as part of the program's commitment to responding to the unique needs of rural Alaska communities, particularly with respect to local resources. The Sámi Education Institute of Finland manages the international BEBO organization, which promotes the languages and cultures of reindeer herding peoples in the Arctic and extends cooperation specifically to the HLRM program.
