AYX is the Arctic Youth Network’s regional chapter system. These chapters provide a framework for connecting, empowering, and informing youth who are working together to drive Arctic change their own way.
- Each chapter provides youth with a framework to organize change and provides opportunities to initiate projects locally with global support
- The chapter system decentralizes the AYN and makes a greater impact in local communities around the globe
- The structure facilitates a global-to-local relationship, with AYN's global team of coordinators supporting AYX chapters, while being informed by them
BUILDING A STRUCTURE WHERE EVERY VOICE MATTERS
AYX chapters will learn from and collaborate with other AYX chapters and AYN Global, allowing the whole community to grow together.
AYN Global provides guidance, support, and international connections to chapters

Your role in AYX Chapters helps drive change
Between social media, professional networks, conferences and meetings, panelist opportunities, and so much more, AYX Chapters can access the Arctic Youth Network’s outlets to share local messages on a global platform.
All AYX participants are part of the broader Arctic Youth Network, giving access to the organization’s connections and partnerships across the Arctic. Furthermore, the AYN Global Team works to support you with whatever your needs may be.
The Arctic Youth Network has a coordinator available to address AYX Chapter needs. As part of the AYN Global Team, this person is your point of contact for anything from starting your chapter to finding resources once you are established.
The Arctic Youth Network is designed for local voices to guide the global mission. The AYX Chapter system is designed to encourage collaboration across borders and cultures.
