The Listening Post

The Listening Post opens its doors for individuals to come and share their story, relieve their burdens through talk, and find a moment of peace. Now located in various locations around Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley, this 100% volunteer-operated organization has served the community since 2008. Trained volunteers practice the sacred art of listening without judging, advising, or counseling—simply offering presence and acceptance. Their commitment to compassionate listening aligns with LSSA's mission to provide holistic support for Alaskans in need.
