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 way.
- The chapter system decentralizes the AYN and makes a greater impact in local communities around the globe
- Each chapter provides youth with a framework to organize change and provides opportunities to initiate projects locally with global support
- The structure facilitates a global-to-local relationship between AYN's global team of coordinators to support and be informed by local AYX chapters
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 resources for chapters

AYX
AYX Chapters carry out regional work and support AYN’s global initiatives by advising how AYN Global is run
AYN activities are informed by AYX chapters through the AYN’s governance model. Each chapter elects a representative who will represent the chapter on the AYN Board of Directors, ensuring representation, collaboration, and a common vision for AYN Global. Members of the board then elect board roles among this group.
