My House

My House MY House is a homeless and at-risk youth drop in center located in Wasilla, Alaska. Our philosophy is to offer a hand up, not a hand out.
(222)

We provide job training, housing, meal assistance, transportation, mental health services, and more to youth between the ages of 14 and 25! We are a unique non-profit that operates several for-profit ventures that offer employment and training you youth age 16-24, with preference given to homeless youth, and the goal of offering financial support back to the organization to support operating costs

and services. Youth coming for services are expected to work toward goals and make progress, accept help to remove barriers, and identify challenges personally that keep them from being successful. Our Gathering Grounds Café is open to the public from 6am-4pm, and trains baristas as well as bakers and sous chefs. The Café also offers a supper program for homeless youth from 3-4pm, hosted by community members who enjoy a meal with the youth. We use local and Alaskan made products whenever possible: Havemeister Dairy milk, Alaska Chip Company potato chips, Alaska Roastery coffee products, Summit Spice and Tea company tea, and a local supplier for Coke products. Behind the Café is a drop in center for homeless youth, with food, clothing, showers and laundry opportunities. Employment services are available on site through Nine Star, a partner provider who also helps with high school completion and GED programs. Another partner business offers car detailing, and employs additional youth. In summer months we also operate a Garden business, selling hanging flower baskets, potted flowers and vegetables to the public. Coming soon is a Steampunk themed thrift store specializing in teen clothing and employing and training more youth. Our case management services include a large referral network for off-site opportunities, Covenant House services for shelter, and caring and efficient staff in house who can assist with a variety of solutions for homeless youth. Our services include opportunities to recover identification, get a drivers license and obtain transportation to job interviews, counseling or evaluation, and legal appointments.

A young man named Gabriel is hoping to collect toiletry supplies for MY House clients this Monday and next at the KGB Three Bears Alaska Inc.! Gabriel was inspired at the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership conference.
"I sat down and had thought hard about what was needed and who needed it. I bounced around with many ideas before landing in the idea of collecting toiletries for people who need and can’t afford them because even if you have food stamps you still can’t purchase basic necessities like toothpaste or deodorant, so that’s what I’ve set out to do. On June 8th and 15th from 2 PM to 8 PM I’ll be collecting toiletries for the people who need them!"
Consider stopping by and helping Gabriel with his project!
