What Projects are Youth and Adults Working on in Alaska?

Youth completed projects that promoted individual, community, or relationship wellness.  Youth from across the state carried out mini-campaigns in their schools, raised funds, held awareness events, hosted poetry contests, or showed youth-created films or digital stories in their community.
