AYN houses several topic-specific communities for youth engaging in the issues of today. These Working Groups are semi-independent bodies and part of the wider Arctic Youth Network platform.
Currently, AYN has two active working groups focusing on two thematic fields:

Arctic Oceans
AYN's working group on the Arctic Ocean is a youth-led platform for young people across the world to discuss and collaborate on ocean-related topics, to strengthen the understanding on the effects of anthropogenic activities on the ocean and its integral importance for all life systems on Earth. The groups aim is to be a youth-led organisation in which the interests, perspectives, and issues of Nordic and Indigenous Youth, especially regarding the Arctic Ocean, are heard, integrated and supported.

Arctic Indigenous Peoples
AYN's working group on Arctic Indigenous Peoples aims to address key challenges faced by Arctic Indigenous youth, such as accessibility to education and resources, communication barriers, and limited funding opportunities. The group fosters knowledge-sharing between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and empowers Indigenous youth and non-Indigenous researchers through active participation in conferences, events, and collaborative projects.
