ON A GLOBAL SCALE
AYX is the Arctic Youth Network’s regional chapter system.
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
AYX chapters will learn from and collaborate with other AYX chapters and AYN Global, allowing the whole community to grow together.
