Who We Are
We are Alaskans committed to building a healthier, more resilient future for our state.
Rooted in our love for Alaska and its people, we work to protect the natural resources that sustain our diverse cultures, communities, and ways of life.
Through education, leadership, and civic engagement, we empower Alaskans to lead with care, courage, and a shared responsibility for generations to come.
What We Do
We educate and empower Alaskans of all ages to be active stewards of our environment and communities.
Through youth education, leadership development, and civic engagement, we uplift values that protect clean air, water, and salmon; promote clean energy; and support healthy, sustainable communities.
Whether on the trail, at the ballot box, or around the decision-making table, we help Alaskans shape a thriving, inclusive future.
How We Make a Difference
We focus on three core strategies to empower Alaskans and protect our shared future:
Educate
We provide hands-on learning experiences that connect Alaskans of all ages with the environment. From outdoor adventures at Trailside Discovery Camp to youth-led initiatives in AYEA, our programs build knowledge and curiosity.
Empower
Our programs help Alaskans build the confidence and skills they need to lead. Whether it’s a teen advocating for climate justice or an adult stepping into public service, we support the growth of community leaders.
Engage
We work with Alaskans of all ages in a non-partisan effort to protect our shared future. Through programs like Democracy for All Alaskans and the Boards & Commissions Leadership Program, we foster civic participation, amplify community voices, and support informed, inclusive leadership across the state.
