Check out and sign this petition started by a teen in Nome! In their words: "The Graphite One Mining Project threatens to harm the environment, local communities, and wildlife of Nome, Alaska. While the company promises economic benefits, the costs to the land, culture, and health of those who live there are far too great." AYEA stands with the youth of this region! Graphite NONE! Show them your support by signing the petition! (fb)

School’s out! ☀️ Alaskan middle and high school students, what are you doing this summer?? We hope applying for the AYEA Youth Organizer Summit is on the list! Application here: bit.ly/YOSummit2025 The summit isn’t until September, but we welcome participants from communities all around Alaska, so we need those applications in by June 30th to secure everyone’s travel! We’ve already received applications from youth in Brevig Mission, Angoon, Noatak, Gambell, Shaktoolik, Juneau, and Anchorage! Will you be next?? We’d love to meet the next generation of leaders representing communities across Alaska! Youth ages 13-18 from ANY Alaskan community can apply! (fb)
