 Kaladi Coffee has been a partner with Gruening from the very beginning back in 1995. They supply at cost most of the supplies that the Colt Café needs to run their espresso company. The Colt Café students also attend a ½ day field trip to Kaladi to see the bean roasting process and learn more about the coffee industry. Kaladi has provided yearly training for the Colt Café barristas which has been instrumental in their future ability to get jobs in the industry.
 Sleepy Dog Coffee Company was Gruening’s first School Business Partnership and helped in establishing our espresso bar. They continue to provide support, products, and training when needed.
 Aurora Vending became a School Business Partnership with Gruening in 1996. They provide products at cost for Gruening’s café as well. They have also teamed up with Gruening in raising funds for the Alaska Zoo and other community service projects.
 The Eagle River Rotary Club is one of Gruening’s newest partners. They have provided the “Choices” seminar to many classes here at Gruening. They also teamed up with Gruening to do a book drive for underprivileged children in Russia and the United States. They sponsor a “Most Improved” luncheon for our students as well each semester.
 The job counselors at Eagle River Job Service Center have been instrumental in helping out during “mock job interviews” at Gruening. They provide speakers to classrooms and appeared in our videos demonstrating how to get a job.
 Wells Fargo has always been wonderful in providing staff for “mock job interviews” and presentations on banking to Gruening’s students. They are always here whenever we need assistance and help.
 USKH has been most generous to Gruening by providing funds for our Science Olympiad Program.They have also volunteered time and staff to come out and help our young science students learn about the engineering industry.
