Inspiring Girls* Expeditions Alaska: Free summer science & art education programs for youth
Each summer, Inspiring Girls* Expeditions Alaska offers unique, tuition-free field science and art education programs throughout Alaska. The expeditions are open to young high school women ages 16-18. Alaska Native and Indigenous youth looking to delve deeper into their passions for art, being outdoors, exploring science and team learning are especially encouraged to apply. This session will provide information about Inspiring Girls* Expeditions Alaska 2023 expeditions: Girls* on Ice, Girls* in the Forest, and Girls* on Water. In this session, we will highlight where we go, review the application, and share what youth, who are selected for an expedition, can expect to experience! We hope that Tribes, communities and regions aiming to increase their support of youth in science and climate change education and adaptation efforts will attend.
