Alaska Youth for Environmental Action
Youth have the power to change your community and create a sustainable world.
Alaska Youth for Environmental Action (AYEA) inspires and trains diverse youth leaders to impact environmental issues through community action projects and campaigns; skills training in leadership, environmental education, civic engagement, and community organizing; and green jobs that sustain our communities and future.
AYEA is a program of the National Wildlife Federation with eight regional chapters and individual youth members from over fifty communities.
Our mission, first drafted by the 6 youth founders in 1998, is to educate, inspire, and take action on issues facing our diverse communities.
We operate on the values of youth empowerment, sustainability, diversity, justice, healthy environments, and cross-cultural experience.
