The Alaska Great Lakes Project, founded by Dale Rosene and Gary Holsten, is a collaborative initiative that aims to raise environmental awareness and bridge communities through educational experiences. Inspired by the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the project began in 1989 and has since involved students from Marshall Middle School in Michigan and Palmer Junior Middle School in Alaska. Supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the project focuses on fostering a deeper understanding of environmental issues and promoting sustainable practices.
Through immersive trips to Alaska, participants engage in various activities such as tent pitching, deep-sea fishing, and website editing, gaining valuable skills and knowledge. The project has empowered students to become more independent and environmentally conscious, while also fostering a sense of community and connection between different regions. With a commitment to environmental stewardship, the Alaska Great Lakes Project continues to make a positive impact on both individuals and the environment.
