Youth Center/OutreachTHE COMPASS exists to come alongside the youth of Alaska and help them navigate the challenging teen years. We want every youth to find purpose, hope, and to pursue a brighter future for themselves and our communities. Our youth center in Nikiski, Alaska provides a safe place for after school drop-in where youth can build healthy relationships and discover who they were created to be. We offer a variety of programs to help youth develop character, life skills, and direction. THE COMPASS partners with many other organizations to solve larger youth related challenges and to meet the needs of youth throughout Alaska. We believe in the ability of our youth to overcome obstacles and reach their highest potential. We're here to help NAVIGATE the way.
