Together We Can Prevent Child Abuse & Neglect
At Alaska Children’s Trust, we envision a future where all Alaska children are safe and healthy. It is our goal that all children grow up in a family and community that provides them with the tools and resources necessary to make their dreams come true.
How We Help
We believe every child can grow up safe, happy, and able to achieve their dreams. We work towards that vision by fostering intentional partnerships across our state, publishing key data and research to show inequities faced by Alaska’s children, raising funds and committing resources, and advocating for change.
We see our work as divided into three key roles:
