ABOUT US
Board, Staff, and Committees
Alaska Children’s Trust board, staff, and committees are dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect in Alaska. We share a common belief that every child can grow up safe, happy, and able to achieve their dreams. Unfortunately, that is not the case for many Alaskan children. Thousands of children every year suffer from the impacts of child abuse and neglect.
Our Board
Our Board is a diverse group of leaders, educators, and community members passionate about building an Alaska where every child grows up safe, supported, and thriving.
