As a direct-service non-profit organization, VOA Alaska has focused on serving Alaska’s most vulnerable since 1981.

Today, VOA Alaska provides a range of services to support the hope, health, and healing of every Alaskan. Our behavioral health professionals educate and support youth struggling with substance misuse and mental health conditions, while also providing a safe space for healing. Our permanent supportive housing team uses an evidence based, housing-first approach to navigate transitional youth to recovery by securing housing and building life skills. Our public health team is on the front line of prevention, working to strengthen and promote healthy communities. Our Kinship Family Program, the most comprehensive program like it in Alaska, serves families taking care of relative children.
