      AYFN is adding a second Anchorage Office at 401 E. Northern Lights Suite 100

      Our primary Anchorage office has changed to 401 E. Northern Lights Suite 100  (northeast corner of Northern Lights and Denali).

      We will still have an office in the AHFC Gateway Leraning Center at 801 Karluk, Suite 1.

      If you need to meet with someone from AYFN in person, please call first so that we can coordinate with you on a meeting time and place.

      April 18th will be the first M2U Youth Support group meeting at our E. Northern Lights location.

      April 25th, the fourth Friday of the month, our Parent Support/Youth Support and Social Group (ages 6-11) will all be meeting at our new location.

      Look for celebration and open house events on May 8th from 4 pm until 8 pm.
