Donate to VOA Alaska

VOA Alaska is shining light along the path to end the suffering of our community’s youth.

Through our mission to empower Alaskans and uplift the human spirit through recovery services, housing, and promoting healthy communities, we are committed to helping young Alaskans emerge from the darkness of a persistent mental health crisis. But we cannot do this work alone. 

Will you join us in being a light for young Alaskans this holiday season?

When Lee Post, illustrator and VOA Board Chair, asked the youth at ARCH who had been a light in their life, many of them mentioned Carlos Diaz, Program Director of Integrated Services.

Bring joy to youth and families through a monetary donation.

At any level of support, your gift can be lifesaving for a youth starting their recovery journey.
