Come by and 👋 say Hi!

Zach Gordon and Sheiyi Xaat Hit are launching a new resource for youth in Juneau, and everyone is invited to celebrate with us! Join us for the official Safe Place launch party on June 12th at the ZGYC from 2-4 pm for food, games, and the chance to learn more about Safe Place and see which organizations will be participating in the program. We will also be giving away fun prizes, merch, and gift cards donated from local businesses (like McDonald's!) to youth who attend.

Safe Place is a national outreach and prevention program that designates businesses and organizations as “Safe Places” where youth in crisis can go to seek help. Youth under 18 who are lost, on the run, or feeling unsafe for any reason can enter a Safe Place site and receive immediate access to counseling, transportation, shelter services, or other community resources within 30 minutes. We are super excited to get this important program started in our community and we hope to see you there!

Our friends and partners at the Polaris House are having a Day of Giving May 1st, 2026.

Juneau's local clubhouse is a friendly, warm atmosphere to be a part of something pretty special.

🌟 Clubhouse Giving Day is here! 🌟

At Polaris House, we believe that recovery happens through community, purpose, and connection. Every day, members and staff work side-by-side to build skills, find employment, secure housing, and support one another in meaningful ways.

Your support helps make this possible.

A donation to Polaris House goes directly toward things that matter:
🍽️ Meals that bring members together
🚌 Bus passes that keep people connected to resources
🏠 Support with housing applications and stability
💼 Opportunities for employment and growth

Even a small contribution makes a real impact—because every dollar helps someone take the next step forward.

Polaris House is a Clubhouse community that supports mental wellbeing by providing fellowship and access to resources that empower members to live, learn, and work with dignity and respect.

💙 Donate today and be part of the impact:

**JAMHI OFFICES ARE CLOSED ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 16TH IN OBSERVANCE OF ELIZABETH PERATROVICH DAY.**

Ḵaax̲gal.aat, also known as Elizabeth Peratrovich, is celebrated for her intolerance of discrimination against and advocacy of Alaska Native people.

Originally established on April 21st, Elizabeth Peratrovich Day was moved to February 16th to commemorate the day that Alaska's Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945 was passed. Peratrovich was credited with being instrumental in that legislation passing (the first in the United States passed by a state or territory).
