CIVICS & CONSERVATION SUMMIT
CIVICS & CONSERVATION SUMMIT
Each spring, AYEA youth delegates gather to gain skills in communication, advocacy, and the democratic process. Teens meet with their legislators, advocate for the bills and topics they care about and develop their power to influence positive change. The Civics & Conservation Summit is a transformational experience that prepares young people to make real change on the issues that they are most passionate about.
Third Friday of March each year to the following Tuesday:
- 2023: March 17-21
- 2024: March 15-19
- 2025: March 21-25

LOCATION:
The Summit takes place on Lingit Aani, in Juneau, Alaska—our state capital!
