For 27 years we helped develop diverse young Alaskans in middle and high school for success in life through Youth Volunteerism, Community Leadership & Student Community Involvement. Since 1998, Friends of Alaska PYLI has been a community coalition of businesses, civic and community groups, and youth serving organizations which promotes the Alaska Points of Light Youth Leadership Institute training
