VOA ALASKA VOA Alaska is the premier agency in Alaska for youth mental, emotional and behavioral well-being services and supports. Nationally, Volunteers of America was founded in 1896, when the concept of “volunteering” meant serving others as a vocation. Our name represents 125 years of serving our country’s most vulnerable citizens. In Alaska, VOA Alaska has continued that history of service since opening the Adolescent Residential Center for Help in 1981. Offering a range of services in person, in schools, in the community and via telehealth, our team strives to meet the needs of every child, teen and young adult in our care. Each member of our team is highly qualified, caring and competent. Whether serving as a clinician, counselor, case manager or another administrative/support role, at our core, our team is committed to the youth and families we serve in Alaska. Each day we seek to empower Alaskans and uplift the human spirit through recovery services, housing and promoting health communities.

“The teamwork that everyone throughout the organization has. Regardless of the problem, stress, tension, impending deadline, insane last minute changes or requests that require entire teams of employees to adjust on the fly to cover, every employee, as high as the CEO, is focused on doing what they can to help. The organization, and all of my coworkers, are truly driven to help those in the community in need in the ways VOA as an organization empowers us to.”
