Spirit of Youth (SOY) is dedicated to creating, promoting and recognizing youth involvement in communities across Alaska. Youth engagement takes place through the following programs and events:
- Positive Youth Media Campaign
- Alaska Teen Media Institute
- Youth Civic Engagement
- Youth Friendly Business Program
- Local Recognition
- Statewide Annual Awards Banquet
Spirit of Youth began in 1997 as a media-based project, to address the growing negative image of teenagers. Since then, hundreds of positive stories about Alaskan youth have spread through television, radio and local newspapers. Nominations are made by anyone who wishes to recognize a hard-working, inspiring teenager or youth group in one of eleven award categories. Over 20 television and radio stations, statewide, are broadcasting these stories!
Through its programs, Spirit of Youth reinforces the Developmental Assets all young people need to succeed in life (positive values and skills, adult and peer support, constructive use of time, and positive identity).
Spirit of Youth is governed by a Board of Directors and the Teen Action Council. As a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, tax-deductible donations are accepted throughout the year. Call (907)566-7676 for details on how to donate.
