How We Serve

Providing the right level of care at the right time.

VOA Alaska offers a range of services in person, in schools, in the community, and via telehealth to support a full continuum of care for Alaska’s youth, young adults, and families.

As a non-profit, VOA Alaska’s services are offered at low or no cost, and no one is turned away due to the inability to pay.
