JUNEAU – AYEA CIVICS & CONSERVATION SUMMIT – Alaska Youth for
Environmental Action is seeking high school applicants for their 2010
Civics & Conservation Summit. AYEA is a youth empowerment program that
takes 20 teens to the state capital every year for a five-day leadership
training. The Summit is an innovative training that inspires and
empowers young people from diverse Alaskan communities who care about
the environment and future to discover their power to influence positive
change and make a difference through the political process. During this
event, Alaskan teens will learn about the state legislature through
first-hand experience, as well as have the opportunity to take action on
environmental issues facing their communities. The total cost is $100
(not including travel). Scholarships are available to those who apply
early. Please nominate enthusiastic teens in your community to
participate! For more information, or to apply, visit www.ayea.org.
Application deadline is February 1st, 2010. For more information,
contact Shannon Kuhn at (907) 339-3910 or shannon@ayea.org. See what
young people are doing for a more sustainable Alaska at www.ayea.org.
