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.

• Organizing a Forum in Your Community

With the website up and running and the Forum of Young Alaskans on the horizon, our next step is getting the word out to young Alaskans (ages 16-25) across the state. If you know someone who might be interested or if you have an idea for how to promote the project, please contact Ian-Michael Hebert or one of our steering committee members.

Registration is now open for our online discussion area! We invite all young Alaskans, age 16-25, to participate in an ongoing discussion which will culminate with the Forum of Young Alaskans in October and Conference of Young Alaskans in January of 2009.

• Sign up Today

Once you get your registration approved we hope you’ll stop by and introduce yourself. You can also help us improve this site by reporting any bugs to the help desk.

Many people have expressed interest in joining the discussion area of youngalaskans.org. Thanks you for your interest! At this time, registration is limited to steering committee members but on August 1, 2008 we’ll be inviting people from all over the state to get involved in the discussion. Please contact Ian-Michael Hebert if you have any further questions.

October 4, 2008, communities from around Alaska are invited to participate in the first ever Forum of Young Alaskans!

There will be organized events in Anchorage, Juneau and Fairbanks as well as other communities around the state. If you’re interested in learning more about how your community can get involved, please contact Ian-Michael Hebert.

The Conference of Young Alaskans will take place January 3-6, 2009. Applications will be available online in October, 2008.

Open development has begun on YoungAlaskans.org, this site will be the future home to the Conference and Forum of Young Alaskans.

The content and layout will continue to change over the next couple of weeks while we work towards our official launch. Until then please remember that this is a development stage and nothing should be considered reliable information until our launch announcement.
