    Covenant House Alaska

    This is a great place to work or Volunteer…read more Since first opening our doors in 1988, Covenant House Alaska has served as a safe refuge for thousands of youth escaping the often unforgiving streets of Alaska. Over the years, our services have grown and our programs have expanded, but we've never lost sight of our primary mission: to provide loving care and vital services to homeless, abandoned, abused and exploited young people in Alaska. At Covenant House Alaska, our commitment to youth in crisis is in effect 24/7/365. Our wide array of programs and services not only meets the basic living needs of kids at this critical time in their lives, but also provides them with support; genuine help that facilitates their journey to becoming healthy, self-sufficient, contributing members of our community. Check them out to see more at https://ak.covenanthouse.org/ The 5 basic principles at Covenant House are Immediacy :Homeless kids come to Covenant House in crisis. Immediately and without question, we meet their basic human needs - a nourishing meal, a shower, clean clothes, medical attention, and a safe place away from the dangers of the street. Sanctuary: Homeless kids arriving at our door are often frightened and mistrustful. Young men and women can grow only when they feel safe and secure - Covenant House protects them from the perils of the street and offers that important sense of security. Value Communication: Lying, cheating, and stealing are common survival tools on the street. Covenant House teaches by example that caring relationships are based on trust, respect, and honesty. Structure: Homeless kids never know how they will get their next meal or where they will sleep. Covenant House provides the stability and structure necessary to build a positive future. Choice: Young people often feel powerless to control their lives and fall into a self-defeating cycle of failure. Covenant House fosters confidence, encouraging young people to believe in themselves and make smart choices for their lives. This place is great you should go by and get a tour.

    From the owner: Covenant House is a privately funded, nonprofit agency that provides shelter, food, clothing and…read moreimmediate crisis care services to homeless and runaway youths.

    If you're reading this review chances are you don't need to eat here or the services that Bean's…read moreCafé provides. I have had the privilege to volunteer serving food during lunch and one thing that's always struck me is the gratitude the patrons feel for receiving a warm meal. The camaraderie in the room is fun and lively. The meals consist of a salad, a warm entrée, a side vegetable, and a dessert. Sometimes there is bread or bagel. The lunch room is well managed by the workers who don't eat until everyone else has, and the handicapped and infirm have their meals transported to them first. The cafeteria walls are now decorated with paintings of some of the patrons and are really well done. I really like the picture of the lady smiling in a blue coat. It's really heartwarming. Although I'm fortunate to have the capacity to care and feed myself I'm grateful that there is a place serving warm meals in a safe environment for those who cannot support themselves. If you have the opportunity to support or volunteer here at Bean's I highly recommend it. Just show up around 11:15-11:30AM and enter through the side door that is on the left, which is the entrance to the back of the kitchen. Someone will point you to a hairnet, hand washing station, apron, and plastic gloves and tell you where to stand on the food line. If you're not feeling the hairnet bring a baseball cap. Don't wear rings or watches. There is a place for people to hang their belongings near the door, though it's not secure so no valuables. If you're nervous for your first time hit me up and I'll join you on the serving line.

    I have been subjected to sleep on a cot that was urinated on by one of the former clients who used…read moreit without any bedding to provide a barrier between my bareskin and this unsanitary cot. For the past three days since I have been here the staff have refused to provide bedding me, not even a sheet. So, not only am I putting my health at risk sleeping bare skin on an unsanitary cot I am also freezing at night as my cot is near the door/entrance. I have been told they have bedding but no one is washing it so I am left DURING A PANDEMIC in an unsanitary situation that could be prevented by someone washinga load of bedding. This is undignified and a reckless display of disregard for my health at that during a pandemic. This is unacceptable and foul. Why can't your staff wash one load of bedding so new guest can have a blanket and some type or barrier between their bare skin and the reused dirty cots? My cot reeks of urine and you think it is okay for me to sleep bareskin on a urine stained cot. It isn't my urine on the cot. Do your donors and the public know you run this place like this?

    The Alaska Center for Performing Arts is an Anchorage downtown gem ! It was part of the Project…read more80's effort to create a world class performing arts venue in Anchorage. I attended a performance put on by Arctic entries. It was wonderful . The Alaska Center for the performing arts is beautifully designed. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. They made sure that all guests were comfortable and had everything they needed. The acoustics in the theater are outstanding. The seating is comfortable and offers great views from every angle , making it very easy to fully enjoy the performance . As I said earlier the show was spectacular featuring talented local residents who clearly put their hearts and souls into their seven minutes they had on stage to share their story . The atmosphere was warm, and the audience was certainly engaged from the start to finish. I highly recommend the Alaska Center for the performing arts to anyone looking for a memorable and high-quality cultural experience. Whether you're a local Alaskan or a visitor to Anchorage, this venue offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy world class performances and a stunning setting.

    As a Valentines Gift to my parents we went to opening night to SIX - The Musical. The broadway show…read moreis based in the Tudor era and the performers are singing original songs inspired by pop artists. Knowing nothing about the musical, I gathered it is based the following, "From Tudor Queens to Pop Icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the microphone to reclaim their identities out of the shadow of their infamous spouse - remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st century girl power! This new original musical is the global sensation that everyone is losing their head over!" It was a very interesting, fast pace, audience participation and entertaining musical. It is nice to see a Broadway performance in Anchorage. Tickets ranged from $49 and up. Seats near the stage were over $150 while we opted for the Mezzanine seats @ $49. As you can see from the Mezzanie picture, we had wonderful seats. Overall: 4 stars for the Musical, the friendly staff, comfortable seats. The theater itself is beautifully decorated. Only CON is CenterTix doesn't have a Military Discount for all shows. It only has "special" dates for different associations. They say they do, but couldn't find any.
