Facilitate a Workshop!

  • AYEA is always looking to expand and deepen our partnerships with other organizations in Alaska. One way to do this is through workshop partnerships! Workshop partners engage with AYEA by facilitating a workshop during the Civic & Conservation Summit. Workshops can range from 45 mins-1.5 hours and can address topics related to leadership development, communication skills, advocacy and project planning, the environment, and youth engagement. We’re excited to talk through your ideas together and get creative!

    If you would like to facilitate a workshop at our upcoming Civics & Conservation Summit, please email [email protected] with the following information:
