Since 1982, the ASAC has worked together with the Alaska Department of Education to visit schools and empower educators to bring the importance of safety directly to our youth in a variety of programs.
Each year in conjunction with the Governor’s Safety and Health Conference considerable effort is being made to bring top-level speakers into the schools to present and work with the kids. Topics vary from situational awareness and caring, to traffic and bicycle safety and visibility on the road and sidewalks in the dark days of Alaska’s long winters.
