A Network by Arctic Youth for Arctic Youth

ARCTIC YOUTH NETWORK

Arctic Youth Network is dissolved as of October 31, 2026.

For now, this means that we ended our ongoing projects and work. While Arctic Youth Network is no longer in a position to continue its work, we rest assured that wherever there is need for change and advocacy, there will be people organizing to advance these goals.

Since its incorporation in 2019, there have been many amazing projects and initiatives Arctic Youth Network was able to create, implement, and accompany. Similarly, there have been many people who have given their time and heart to the organization’s mandate and mission, many of whom will continue to do so even after Arctic Youth Network has dissolved.

With this, we would like to highlight the effort of a select few who have seen Arctic Youth Network to its orderly end; these people fall in one of three categories: those who were obligated to see this through, those who never owed the Network anything but still helped, and those who have guided and partnered with Arctic Youth Network for quite some time.

In the first category of those who were obligated to see this through and did not abandon their duties as Directors, we would like to thank Nina, Niall, and Priscilla. Without them, many difficult decisions, which had to be made, would have lacked the needed legitimacy.

We would also like to thank those who stepped up to this challenge without ever owing Arctic Youth Network their time: Connor and Anna. Without you, those who were stuck holding the bucket last would have lacked important support to keep going.

Lastly, of the many people and organizations who have accompanied and supported Arctic Youth Network over the years, we would like to highlight two who have not abandoned us even as we realized the organization had failed: Elena and Sissa (for WWF’s Global Arctic Program).

We know that this development leaves many wanting for more and some even disappointed, to whom we say: We are sorry! Please do not lose hope in youth having a voice of their own and having a right to be heard and seen wherever important decisions about our future are being made.

Stay cool,

Arctic Youth Network
