Young people often don’t have a voice to speak for themselves. We are committed to raising the awareness of legislators and the public at large to the problems and suffering that young people face in Alaska.

Youth Voice
Our Youth Voice group is the voice of active and concerned youth on issues affecting them in Anchorage or before state and national lawmakers. We encourage our youth to meet as concerned citizens, formulate a position, and present that position to lawmakers.

Legal Street
Legal Street offers free legal information for our youth on criminal and civil issues and is held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 4:30 p.m. at the Youth Resource Center. The CHA Advocacy department presents this free clinic in collaboration with Alaska Legal Services Corporation, Alaska Native Justice Center, Office of Public Advocacy, State of Alaska Public Defender's Office, Department of Juvenile Justice, State of Alaska Child Support Enforcement Division and the Disability Law Center.

Legal Street is open to all youth in the Anchorage community and addresses legal questions raised by youth on civil law topics such as landlord-tenant law, automobile sales, truth in lending, domestic relation, child support enforcement, and child custody. Youth with questions or legal entanglements are encouraged to attend.

Court case searches and court forms can be found at www.state.ak.us/courts
