Education & Employment Skills Lab Assistance

Covey Academy houses education and employment services at Covenant House Alaska. We offer assistance including life skills development, pre-employment skill development, career coaching, career exploration, and support achieving educational goals. Services are provided through one-on-one meetings with youth, group workshops and trainings, internships, and field trips. Youth are provided with resources and guidance needed to succeed in educational pursuits and secure meaningful employment. By fostering a supportive environment, staff and volunteers play a crucial role in empowering individuals to overcome barriers and achieve their aspirations.

We're excited to invite volunteers to support youth at Covey Academy through our education and employment skills lab.

Youth can visit the Skills Lab from 10 AM to 12 PM. Participants are able to utilize laptop computers for educational, employment, or personal development purposes. Volunteer support for Skills Lab can encompass a variety of ways to help individuals achieve their academic and career goals. Youth may need assistance with building resumes, job searching, mock interviewing, interview preparation, and job search strategies. The wide range of career and life experiences of volunteers will be a great resource for our youth.
