Prevent injuries, promote wellbeing, and improve safety for all Alaskans.
In 2018, the Alaska Injury Prevention Center transformed into being named the Center for Safe Alaskans. Known as Safe Alaskans, our name better represents our work and our contribution for and with Alaskans.
Our story is a winding path stemming from innovative approaches to prevent injuries while also promote wellbeing.
In 1998, our state’s leading experts in injury prevention came together to discuss how our communities were systematically approaching, measuring, and evaluating injury prevention in the state. With the support of a “Safe Communities America” grant through the National Safety Council, these leaders created our nonprofit, the Alaska Injury Prevention Center.
For over twenty years we have used a public health approach to identify data-driven trends, bring collaborative efforts into action, evaluate and measure the successes of our programs, and bring more people to the table.
In 2015, the Anchorage Youth Development Coalition (AYDC) merged into our organization. Now, AYDC is a strong program continuing to serve and empower youth-serving organizations to promote positive youth development so all Anchorage youth thrive. As Safe Alaskans, our organization’s name better encompasses our AYDC program to promote wellbeing for all Alaskans.
AYDC encourages you and/or your organization to make a meaningful contribution to AYDC. Please use this table as a guide for suggested contribution levels, but please give what you are able.
