Democracy for All Alaskans
At The Alaska Center Education Fund (AKCEF), we are committed to building a thriving, inclusive democracy where every Alaskan has a voice. Through the Democracy for All Alaskans program, we work year-round to protect voting rights, educate voters, and increase voter turnout across the state. Our focus is on engaging young Alaskans, BIPOC communities, and those in rural and Indigenous areas to participate in shaping Alaska’s future.
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 the Youth Civic Engagement Fellows program, we create opportunities for young Alaskans to gain leadership experience, advocate for their communities, and shape Alaska's civic engagement landscape.
