The Nurturing Parenting Program is back in person starting September 6th!

This program work with the whole household to build nurturing skills. Each family gets a plan for support and learning based on their unique needs. We make sure that parents are getting their needs met so they can show up in healthy ways. The work is done through a combination of one-on-one sessions with the family, as well as group sessions with other families. By building nurturing skills, we focus on the positive and take concrete steps toward healthier family dynamics. These programs are trauma-informed and evidence-based, with a 35-year track record to back them up. AWARE has a trained facilitator offering both the core program and the program designed for Families in Substance Abuse, Treatment & Recovery.

For more information, email [email protected] or call (907) 586-6623.

We are sad to announce that CBJ has decided to cancel the 2021 Indoor Soccer season. This decision was not made lightly. Given the continued rise in COVID-19 cases in Juneau, our Emergency Operations Center has determined that this step is necessary to protect public health. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and look forward to playing again soon!

Happy Pride, friends. Here is a sneak peak at Shéiyi X̱aat Hít, the new youth shelter that will be opening soon!

Zach Gordon opened the Teen Center 75 years ago to be a place for ALL youth to be loved, safe, and supported. We could not be more proud to be continuing this tradition with so many incredible partners.

Gunalchéesh to our community for making this a reality. We are so grateful.

Registration is now open for Tlingit & Haida’s summer Youth Employability Services (YES) program! Although tribal citizen youth will not have direct employment opportunities this year, our 477 Employment & Training department is still committed to helping them sharpen their job skills development.

The summer YES program's theme for this year is "Writing My Narrative". The program will run June 14th - August 13th and is available to tribal youth who are 14-24 years of age and meet eligibility requirements.
Youth will participate in Zoom webinar sessions held twice a week based on their selected program track and will work in small teams to complete a program project related to employability.
