Message from the Executive Director, Deirdre A. Cronin

Since opening doors in 1988, Covenant House Alaska has been serving homeless and runaway youth in Alaska. In that time our services have expanded and some of the community needs have changed, but our mission remains the same, “To serve the suffering children of the streets.”

Covenant House Alaska’s sole purpose is to be of value to this community by remaining open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for kids in crisis. Kids come to us in need of shelter, food, clothing, or simply someone to listen to them, and we are committed to being here to help them and their families.

The kids that come to Covenant House Alaska have faced many difficulties in their young lives, but they have not given up hope. They show great courage and determination each day. Though the road is sometimes a long and difficult one, they continue on the path to becoming healthy, self-sufficient, and contributing members of our community. On behalf of the kids, both past and future, seeking help at Covenant House, thank you for supporting our mission and having faith in their future.
