Discovery Southeast

For over 35 years, Discovery Southeast has facilitated education and exploration programs in Juneau, AK, the traditional lands of the Áakʼw and Tʼaakʼú Ḵwáan. Founded by outdoor leaders, we are a regional nonprofit dedicated to ensuring local residents—especially children—have the opportunity to experience the remarkable natural areas that attract visitors from around the world. Our field-based, hands-on programs teach kids how to experience, explore, and feel comfortable in the natural world. We focus on reaching all youth in Juneau, particularly those who might not otherwise be introduced to the outdoors at a young age. Ultimately, we hope to promote a better understanding of ourselves, the natural world, and our place in it.
