About Us

Mission: 

We engage, empower, and elect Alaskans to stand up for our clean air and water, healthy communities, and a strong democracy.

Programs: 

Trailside Discovery Camp: Our award winning camp program in Alaska that provides a broad range of outdoor environmental education experiences for students ages 4 to 16 from all economic, social, and cultural backgrounds. We provide summer camps at the Campbell Creek Science Center in Anchorage and Spring Creek Farm in Palmer. We also offer special winter and spring programs during school breaks. Alaska Youth for Environmental Action: (AYEA) is a program of The Alaska Center that inspires and trains rural and urban youth leaders to impact environmental issues by providing leadership skills training and supporting youth-led community action projects and campaigns. We are committed to a youth-led model, in which teens choose the issues AYEA works on, and teens are the leaders in all AYEA campaigns and projects. Adult mentors and staff provide essential support to help the teens learn the skills they need to successfully reach their project goals.​

Democracy: It’s our belief at The Alaska Center that the more Alaskans get involved in the decisions affecting our home, the better our future will be for everyone. Increasing the number of Alaskans who vote is at the core of our strategy to promote a strong and healthy democracy. By conducting both grassroots education and direct advocacy around common-sense voter reforms, we can work together as Alaskans to safeguard our democratic ideals.

Why Work For Us?: 

The Alaska Center envisions a thriving and sustainable Alaska for future generations. We engage, empower, and elect Alaskans to stand up for clean air and water, healthy communities, and a strong democracy. We believe that when Alaskans are involved in the decisions about how our resources are managed, we create a more just, equitable and sustainable future. Our issue priorities are protecting salmon habitat, advancing clean energy solutions in the face of rapid climate change, and amplifying Alaskan’s voices in the public process. In partnership with our sister organization, The Alaska Center Education Fund, we achieve our mission through youth education and leadership development, community organizing and mobilizing, and electing leaders who champion our values.
