Local Forums

Forum Flyer

We’re hoping to see local forum sites spring up all across the state as we get closer to the October 4th Forum of Young Alaskans.

If you’re interested in hosting a forum in your community or participating in a statewide youth driven dialog we’ve put together a short outline of the process.

Join the discussion and help define the future of Alaska.
