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.

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 - Today people from in and out of the community in Sutton, Alaska gathered for the Walk for Prevention. Students from the Yah Ne Dah Nah and Sutton elementary, school staff, City Council members, elders, and other members of the community came together for a community walk starting at the Sutton Library and ending at the C’eyiits’ Hwnax Life House Clinic. Along the way, they stopped to take part in Ahtna cultural learning, singing, and dancing. Once arriving at the walk destination, local recovery vendors were set up with tables and merchandise ready to engage with participants of the Walk for Recovery and teach a little bit about what each program specialized in. Storytelling, games, activities, and lunch were also included in the event.
“My younger brother had an alcohol use disorder and hosting the Walk for Prevention today is my way of giving back to his memory,” said Alma Robinson who is a Tribal Opioid Response Case Manager and Chickaloon Village Traditional Council member.
As part of the Walk for Prevention, students participated with local comic book authors, Dimi Macheras and Casey Silver from 80% studios, who are the authors of “The Chickaloonies” graphic novels. Dimi and Casey hosted an official Chickaloonies Character Collaboration Workshop in which the students got to gather around and give their feedback on what the character design, background story, and plot of the student’s unique comic would be.
“One of our favorite things to do is collaborate with students in the workshop, where they give us ideas and suggestions,” Dimi shared. “Casey will field the questions, and I will draw the character live.”
“This is Screech the Sailor Cat and his friend Spike the Turtle,” Casey remarked. “They are Captains of a giant yacht.”
Emily Jordan, Principal of Sutton Elementary stated, “It’s exciting to learn more about our local community and unite with other organizations. We like to put the message of prevention at the front of kid's brains, talking about awareness and about consequences to choices that are being made. It’s been fun and we were lucky to be here.”
