The youth activity program at the Alaska State Library, Archives, and Museum provides young people with opportunities to work with professional artists to learn artistic techniques and engage with art, history, and the collections of the Library, Archives, and Museum. These activities are sponsored by the Friends of the Alaska State Library, Archives, and Museum and are partially funded by the citizens of the City and Borough of Juneau through sales tax revenues.

In May/June of 2022, nine teens participated in a film intensive to create mini-documentaries inspired by the Museum's summer exhibit, Mug Up: The Language of Cannery Work, led by Marie Acemah of See Stories. See all nine films on the Division of Libraries, Archives, and Museum's YouTube.
