Our Impact
Protecting Voting Rights
▶
We advocate for policies that expand voting access, ensuring that geography, race, language, or identity are never barriers to participation.
Voter Education
▶
We aim to provide clear, accessible information on Alaska’s voting system and what’s on the ballot. Our goal is to ensure that all voters understand how their vote impacts the issues that matter most to their communities.
Engaging Underrepresented Communities
▶
Our outreach focuses on empowering historically underrepresented communities, including youth, BIPOC communities, and rural and Indigenous populations.
Leadership Development
▶
Through programs like our Youth Civic Engagement Fellows Program and Alaska Boards & Commissions Leadership Program, we create opportunities for young Alaskans to gain leadership experience, advocate for their communities, and shape Alaska’s civic engagement landscape.
