Youth Conference
Is a transformative event designed to empower Ahtna elders and youth by creating a supportive, culturally rich environment for fostering multi-generational connections. This conference is more than just an event; it is a cultural camp where attendees learn emergency preparedness, traditional practices, and the latest techniques for living in rural Alaska.
