Become a Mentor
Join AYEA and become part of an inspiring, action-oriented network of people making Alaska a better place!
Part of AYEA’s success lies in the positive support of our volunteer Adult Mentors.
Adult Mentors:
- Must be at least 18 years old and out of high school
- Must support youth voice and enjoy working with teenagers
- Receive training, youth engagement, and action resources through AYEA ACTION
- Receive the quarterly AYEA Newsletter full of issue updates & action opportunities
- Must commit to a background check for working with minors
Chapter Mentor:
Adult mentors can support their local AYEA chapter by attending chapter meetings, providing support and feedback on chapter activities, connecting youth to environmental resources in the community, and facilitating healthy youth leadership development within a chapter.
Training Mentor:
AYEA coordinates several inspiring, action-packed trainings annually. Training Mentors assist with overall training coordination and facilitation and get to travel with AYEA to our state capital, nation’s capital, and sometimes, international locations!
Statewide Advisory Group (SWAG) Mentor: AYEA receives statewide direction and support by a youth-adult Statewide Advisory Group (SWAG). We seek Mentors that can participate in bi-monthly planning meetings and attend one face to face retreat with youth allies each year.
