Longtime AAPLIC volunteer Erin McLarnon and sled dog Lily

The Alaska Centers have lots of opportunities for you, the visitor, to help out.  If you can give a few hours of your time to volunteer, spend a little money to patronize our bookstores, or donate project skills or money, the Alaska Centers can always use the help.  All centers have a donation box, the proceeds of which help buy new projector bulbs, help buy new kits for teachers, and fabricate new exhibits.  Our bookstores offer interesting and educational literature and movies, and a portion of each purchase goes on to support public lands.
