What is LeadOn?
LeadOn is more than an annual youth leadership conference in Anchorage—it’s a year-round, statewide
prevention program that empowers teens (ages 13–18) and the adults who support them to create safer, healthier communities.
Through summer planning sessions, the fall conference, youth-led community projects, and opportunities to share their successes, LeadOn helps young people build leadership skills, healthy relationships, and the confidence to make positive change.
