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.

From Alaska to communities across our nation, today we stand together in remembrance.

September 11 is a reminder of the strength found in unity, the courage found in service, and the importance of showing up for one another.

Today, MY House joins our community and our country in honoring and remembering. 🇺🇸

September is Recovery Month, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by walking together.

Join us Saturday, September 19th for the 5th Annual Walk for Recovery as we celebrate recovery, community, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward.

We’ll kick things off at the Target parking lot and walk together to the MY House Youth Drop-In Center, where a BBQ celebration, community connections, and plenty of fun will be waiting at the finish line!

This year’s custom event T-shirt features artwork from Brad Alexander and Oswald Keener’s “Cranky Critters” book series, making it one you won’t want to miss.

Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply want to stand behind the incredible recovery community here in the Mat-Su, we want you there!

Recovery Month is about celebrating progress, recognizing the many paths to recovery, and reminding people that recovery is possible. On September 19th, let’s show just how strong that community is here in the Mat-Su.

Food. Fellowship. Fun. Recovery.
Come walk with us!

Did you know....MY House has an Empowerment Program every Tuesday at 2 PM?

Since 2016, the Empowerment Program has been giving young people opportunities to learn practical skills, try new things, and hear from people with lived experience who share their own journeys and what they’ve learned along the way.

Every Tuesday, our youth come together for something different. Community partners, including Public Health, come in to teach classes, and topics have ranged from nutrition, goal setting, and dental hygiene to basic car repair, budgeting and grocery shopping, working well with employers, team building, and learning how to enroll at Mat-Su College.

Once a month, Empowerment heads to Wasilla Bible Church for hands-on cooking lessons, giving youth another practical skill they can take with them into everyday life.

Sometimes the best learning happens outside the classroom. The program also includes field trips and experiences like visiting the fire station, hiking, and playing disc golf.

For nearly a decade, Empowerment has been about more than teaching a class. It’s about giving young people practical knowledge, new experiences, connections within their community, and skills they can carry into their future.

Every Tuesday at 2 PM at MY House.
