Priscilla Kameroff

Priscilla S. Kameroff is Inupiaq originally from the Village of Unalakleet and serves as the Public Policy Specialist for the Yup’ik Women’s Coalition. Prior to this position, she had eleven years experience working in the human services field with the Native Village of Emmonak as the Indian Child Welfare Worker. This involved working closely with the Office of Children’s Services when they come out to the Village to do investigations with children that may have been harmed, or were in a home that is not safe. She was also President of the Board of Directors for the Emmonak Women’s Shelter and the Yup’ik Women’s Coalition for several years. She received a certificate in May 2010 in the Rural Human Services from KUC in Bethel, and a degree in Associate of Applied Science in Human Services in May 2012. Her passion is supporting the local women’s shelter. Growing up as a young child, she saw things such as domestic violence committed against our women. It was never talked about. Everyone kept silent. The violence was swept under the rug and kept there.
