Choosing Our Roots is a non-profit operating in the Alaska regions of Anchorage and the MatSu Valley. We serve youth and young adults ages 13-24 experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. Our mission is to ensure all Queer, Alaskan youth and young adults have access to safe homes, supportive communities, and opportunities to thrive.

Choosing Our Roots provides case management, housing support, and resource navigation to assist participants in their life skill development. From referrals to mental and physical health care to education and workforce development support, Choosing Our Roots works with participants to meet their unique needs and help them reach stability. Our community partnerships create a social safety net for participants, teaching them about the available resources and how to access them if needed.
