Welcome to the Access Alaska community.

We’ve been opening doors to independence for seniors and Alaskans with disabilities for more than two decades.

Alaska is your home. Access Alaska is your community. A place where:

  • You can find answers, voice concerns and share insights.
  • You can access services or help a fellow Alaskan.
  • Life’s challenges are always met with respect, dignity and understanding.

We help Alaskans secure funding, find information and access resources, training and services to lead the most productive, meaningful and satisfying lives possible.

Access Alaska Has Job Openings!

Access Alaska offers a broad range of independent living (IL) services to assist people with disabilities to live independently. Our programs primarily focus on Center Independent Living (CIL) and in-home Personal Care Assistant (PCA) services, delivered collaboratively and coordinated between the various programs and services.

Our reputation for competitive pay and benefits, liberal leave policies, educational opportunities, long-term dedication to our mission, and friendly work atmosphere make us an ideal employer. We are expanding our services, so are seeking six (6) resourceful and energetic self-starters to fill the following regular, full-time positions; recruitments are open until January 31, 2010.

Access Alaska promotes the independence of Alaskans with disabilities, so encourages consumers and other persons with disabilities to apply.

Descriptions and application information can be found here.
