Since its founding in 1997, Leadership Anchorage participants have connected with a wide range of organizations and community champions to meet real needs. Each year, community organizations pitch concepts to the cohort and the cohort selects the projects they want to work on in teams of up to 5 people over the course of the program. In 2025, 27 proposals were submitted and the Cohort selected five.
The five selected by LA 29 were:
Community Market Revitalization - Muldoon Community Market
Establishing Alaska Native Art as a Measurable Economic Sector: A Data Framework for the October 2026 Alaska Native Art Economic Summit - Alaska Native Arts Foundation
Developing and Sustaining a Comprehensive 6th-12th Grade Experiential Learning Continuum - Academies of Anchorage
The Fa'asamoa Circle: A Restorative Justice Reentry Program - Native Samoan Corporation
Gathering for Change: Defining Restorative Justice and Inclusion Through Community Solutions - Anchorage Education Association
Leadership Anchorage Community Projects
Thank you to Nancy King, LA 18, for compiling this list!
