The Power Center at Alaska Behavioral Health, located at 2601 Arctic Boulevard in Anchorage, Alaska, serves as a safe and welcoming space for adolescents and young adults ages 13 to 23. Designed to be run by teens for teens—with supportive adult staff when needed—the Power Center provides an inclusive environment where youth can relax, connect with peers, and access essential services without judgment or pressure. From basic needs like clothing, food, and hygiene items to interactive activities like Xbox gaming, art projects, and cooking groups, the drop-in center fosters a sense of community and empowerment. Open five days a week, the center also hosts structured group sessions covering topics such as healthy relationships, self-esteem, and sleep hygiene.
Beyond the drop-in experience, The Power Center offers a wide range of supportive services including case management, mental health support, and peer-led education. Their outreach team of Peer Outreach Workers actively engages with youth on the streets of Anchorage, distributing vital supplies and connecting individuals to lifesaving resources. The center is also a hub for educational presentations that address critical issues such as addiction, sexual health, domestic violence, suicide awareness, and more. These sessions are youth-driven and designed to reflect the unique experiences and needs of the Anchorage youth community. By integrating street outreach, educational programming, and on-site resources, The Power Center serves as both a preventative and responsive resource for at-risk youth in Alaska.

I was all alone and homeless. I was living in my car with my cat, Lacey until my car was stolen from me. I ended up in a tent for 4 months until the snow covered my tent. I went to the Web with my heart in my hands. These folks took a lot of time with me. Treated me so nice. They didnt even judge me. They helped me with the deposit on a place to live and even sent me the paperwork for $1500 for furniture and stuff to set me up. I will always be grateful to them. Brenda Martin
Was easy to use just a little confusing when switching between individuals. Letting the patient know you’ll be getting off the video chat was really the only issue. Letting the patient know to wait for the next provider to join. Other then that it was really easy to use.
I've been seeing Sara Kozup for some time. She is one of the most caring and patient providers I have seen. Sara's office is very professional and understanding. Highly recommend
Great program! They have a fantastic mission to support and empower youth while providing local food to increase food security in Alaska. This program is Changing people's lives and the future of Alaska. Seeds of Change has phenomenal produce that exceeds flavor, quality, and shelf life. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone who lives in Alaska and loves to eat food!
it changed me for the better and i was only there for 3 months although since i left it felt like my progress has slipped out of my hands now that i’m home, whatever you do don’t run away it’s not worth it.
