Welcome!

Alaskans for Trans Youth (AFTY) is a group of volunteers committed to advocate for transgender youth and their support systems in the state of Alaska. AFTY was founded in 2023 in response to the spread of disinformation and increasing legislative attacks against trans youth around the country, including Alaska.

Recognizing that we are stronger together, AFTY created this site to consolidate information and resources to ensure that trans and gender non-conforming youth and their supporters are empowered to show up and speak out. And, because rest is revolutionary and essential for this fight, AFTY includes a list of inclusive, affirming Alaskan businesses and events where you can show up authentically to recharge and find joy in safer, enriching spaces.
