The Alaska Humanities Forum connects Alaskans through stories, ideas and experiences that inspire understanding and strengthen community. We believe many of the challenges facing our communities are rooted in a lack of connection, understanding, and communication.

We offer different programming to meet our mission: Community Conversations gather Alaskans with diverse perspectives to talk about challenging issues and build trust; Cultural Competency programs help educators and other people-serving professionals develop culturally responsive practices; Leadership Development programscultivate agency and empathetic leadership among community-minded Alaskans; Storytelling programs uplift storytellers and amplify stories that deepen our understanding of ourselves and our state; Youth Empowerment programs support young people in building confident identities, cultural grounding, and supportive networks; and Grants invest in Alaskans’ efforts to strengthen our communities.
