Alaska's youth are the future leaders of our great state. As the investment manager of Alaska's largest renewable financial resource, APFC recognizes the Alaska Permanent Fund and the youth are essential aspects of Alaska's future. The lessons in this workbook were created to teach and empower Alaska's youth about financial literacy, the fund, its structure, investment management, and how the fund is used to convert non-renewable mineral resources into a renewable economic resource for Alaska at middle school and high school education levels.
