THE STORY BEHIND THE PROJECT

Helping Hands International has partnered with Covenant Youth of Alaska for many years now in the town of Unalakleet. They have reached out to us and asked us if we would be willing to take on a renovation project in Anchorage at their Aarigaa house. 


The Aarigaa House is an opportunity for Anchorage based, college-aged young adults to live off campus in intentional Christian community. ​

Together, the members of the community work toward spiritual growth, personal and communal development, and academic success. The end goal is to honor, worship, and thank God for who He is by living lives that reflect this focus. The Aarigaa House is an awesome place! Here you will find something very different from the dorms or living with family in Anchorage.

The House provides an academically encouraging environment, a socially fun community, and a group of adults young and old that will go out of their way to help you succeed in schooling and training. 


Helping Hands is so excited walk beside this amazing ministry.
