Youth Encouraging Alaskans Health (YEAH) Youth Ambassadors is a statewide youth group focused on community health and wellness.
Youth Ambassadors, ages 13 to 18, partner with Youth Activities Coordinators--or other supportive adults in their community who help plan and do fun activities.
Throughout the year, Youth Ambassadors meet online or in person to have fun and receive training in a wide range of skills. They also learn to engage their peers at schools and conferences and create informative content about healthy living for social media.
Each year, YEAH hosts a summit in which Youth Ambassadors plan and lead a three-day event, usually in Anchorage. Youth Ambassadors lead activities with other youth from around the state and talk about the issues they find most important, creating a fun and engaging environment where peers from across the state can learn about healthy activities, substance prevention and advocacy
efforts.
Join us if you're interested in meeting new people, improving your public speaking and presentation skills, gaining a deeper understanding of important issues to Alaska youth.
