KYUK has been involved in documenting the event for several years, and this year's LKSD Media Ready interns discussed their takeaways from covering the workshops and this year's Lead On for Peace and Equality event.

Participants must be in high school; for more information on being a part of next year's Lead On, go to StandUpSpeakUpAlaska.org.
