Alaska Youth Advocates (AYA) offers the chance for a healthier life to young people who have little or no family support, often have quit school, may suffer from abuse or addiction, and have no place to go but the streets. Through the POWER Teen Center and health clinic in downtown Anchorage, AYA reaches out to youth, offering a caring environment and information that can help them make good decisions in their lives. At AYA young people who have overcome their own challenges learn how to help others by becoming peer counselors. AYA forms partnerships with other organizations to increase the opportunity for success for youth. What AYA doesn’t provide, others often do. This approach keeps AYA focused on its core purpose and values and stretches resources. AYA becomes the bridge between a troubled and neglected teen and a better life.

CONAS is gathering information from locals, who spend much time out on the sea, in order to build a more complete understanding of changes occurring in the Bering Sea and how those changes affect people living there. Currently observations are being recorded in Alaska in the following villages: Gambell, Saint George, Sand Point, Savoonga, and Togiak. Observations in Russia will be recorded in Kanchalan, Chukotka, Nikolskoye, Kamchatka, and Tymlat Kamchatka.

The school building houses the Montessori Program which includes both neighborhood students and students accepted through the Anchorage School District lottery, two special education classrooms for children with intensive needs, and various resources such as special education, gifted education (Ignite), speech, migrant education preschool, and physical and occupational therapy. Denali also has a full time school counselor and utilizes the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program (RCCP), which helps develop student mediators to help problem-solve. School activities (assemblies, after-school clubs, multi-cultural activities, spelling bees, etc.) include all students. Two before-school and after-school programs operate separately in the building, and require a payment of fees. Campfire offers a before-school and after-school program on-site. In addition, the Denali Community Schools Program, which is sponsored by the PTA, offers various classes including Spanish, Chinese, and Computer Lab. The Montessori, special education, and preschool programs are all administered by Principal Ruth Dene. The support staff (school nurse, counselor, librarian, psychologist, etc.) offer services to all students. The Montessori program is projected to have approximately 400 children enrolled in 20 classrooms. There is one preschool classroom, three kindergarten classrooms, eight primary classrooms (combining grades 1, 2 and 3), six intermediate classrooms (combining grades 4, 5 and 6), and two intensive needs classrooms. Parents play a primary role in the success of the Montessori program. Because Montessori is a highly individualized learning method, it is exceptionally demanding for the teacher. The program relies on parent volunteers to help in the classrooms. To be successful, Denali relies on each and every family to contribute to the program through volunteer hours and/or financial support.
