Who Are We?

Fairbanks Youth Advocates is dedicated to helping young people who face life’s crossroads and must make difficult decisions. Often these choices and options can expose young people to unsafe situations.  In particular, when faced with conflict, violence or other difficult circumstances in the home, youth can feel that leaving home is their only answer…their only hope.

Emergency Youth Shelter

Each year, hundreds of youth in Fairbanks are without safety, warmth, and shelter.  Fairbanks Youth Advocates is working to open an Emergency Shelter for homeless and runaway youth – meeting this need with compassion, love, hope, and faith.  We invite you to get informed.  Read and learn about youth homelessness – the statistics from our own community are staggering.
