The Sitka Youth Leadership Committee Proudly Presents 

"I AM" CAMPAIGN

Take The #RESPECTCHALLENGE

Developed by the young minds of the Sitka Youth Leadership Committee (SYLC), the “I AM” Campaign promotes respect, celebrates diversity,  and connects youth across Alaska.

 

 

It encourages young Alaskans to embrace their strengths, be proud of their unique qualities, and challenge stereotypes. We believe that recognizing and celebrating our differences strengthens community, helps build self-esteem, and respect for others.
