The mission of Alaska Youth Advocates (AYA) is to help at-risk teenagers. From clothing to a place to live, the organization is dedicated to getting adolescents on their feet. AYA also offers personal counseling for those who request it. Drake King, a former beneficiary of the program, is now a youth outreach worker himself, and told student reporters from Alaska Teen Media Institute about his experience.
