[1] The building houses three community resources: the Consortium Library, the Yup'ik Museum, and the Multi-purpose room or auditorium.

[1][5] The UAF presently has a three-year grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to increase the sustainability of this facility.

Association of Village Council Presidents controls museum space and gift shop and pays a lease of $20,000 per year.

[1] The multipurpose room or auditorium managed by UAF's Kuskokwim Campus, used for trainings, classes, conferences, concerts and meetings.

The center also hosts a bimonthly summer "Saturday Market" where artisans and crafters from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta come to sell their crafts.

There is a variety at the market, but many of the crafts include traditional Yup'ik parka cover or kuspuk (qaspeq), story knives (yaaruin), woven baskets (mingqaaq), ulu (semilunar woman's knife) and more.

The center and local partners developed a fund based competition for start-up Yukon-Kuskokwim region businesses.

[1][5] The museum is located within the 18,000 square foot cultural center and houses approximately 5000 pieces of art, pictures and artifacts.

[9] The original museum was located in a log house, made with trees cut and shipped downriver from Bethel by barge.

Two galleries display the permanent exhibits of the Yup'ik (and Cup'ik) and the Alaskan Athabaskans of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in ancient and contemporary times.

[1][9][10] The museum has housed numerous temporary exhibits in order to stimulate cultural education and honor the lives of generations past.
