The mission of the Alaska Teen Media Institute is to provide teens with the tools and training needed to produce stories and with the opportunity for their stories - told in their own voices - to be shared through a variety of media. ATMI believes the teen perspective is valuable and under-represented. The Alaska Teen Media Institute is a program under the umbrella of Spirit of Youth, 501 (c)(3).

In this episode we’re taking a look at how pollutants in drinking water are affecting the health and wellbeing of communities in Alaska. And how these chemicals can stay in a person’s body… forever.
ATMI senior reporter Chloe Chaobal began her reporting in 2021 after being awarded a youth mini grant from the Alaska Conservation Foundation. The Youth Mini-Grant program aims to support youth-led projects that address conservation issues in Alaska.
Chloe sought this funding after developing an interest and concern for Alaskans who may have been exposed to these chemicals through their drinking water.
This episode is narrated by Madison Knutson, written by Chloe Chaobal and Madison Knutson. Mentorship and production support from Cody Liska, John Kendall, and Rosey Robards.
Hosted by Roey McCowan.
Music by Kendrick Whiteman, Ormund Alaois, and Tyler Felson.
