The Youth Employment in Parks(YEP) program is a partnership between the Parks & Recreation Department of the Municipality of Anchorage and Alaska Youth for Environmental Action, a program of the National Wildlife Federation. The goal of the program is to positively engage a new generation of diverse youth leaders with the environment and the Anchorage community through meaningful training, employment, and outdoor recreation. The footage on this video was shot in the YEP program's pilot year - during the summer of 2007. (less info)
