ABOUT US >

Caring for the Kenai empowers Kenai Peninsula high school students to tackle real environmental challenges through research, innovation, and community collaboration. Each year, nearly 600 proposals are narrowed to 12 finalists who present their solutions to protect Alaska's future. Recognized by presidents and governors alike, we're proving that young Alaskans are leading the way in environmental stewardship.
