SEAAEYC was awarded $5M from Senator Lisa Murkowski to build a multi-agency nonprofit family center. This project is a long-held vision of SEAAEYC and the Juneau Partnerships for Families and Children (PFC), a group of nonprofit and state agencies whose programs support families. The center is being developed to meet the needs of families in the community, emphasizing accessibility of resources.
SEAAEYC and the PFC have collaborated around family supports for over 26 years. Still, services are spread across the community and sometimes hard for families to navigate. The partners offer a variety of programs, including parenting classes, developmental screenings, kindergarten readiness strategies, early literacy opportunities, family fun nights, mental health consultations, and community networking. We are excited to combine all these resources under one roof to serve Juneau’s families better.
The space is envisioned to include offices, a childcare facility, a lending library, a commercial kitchen and dining hall, meeting spaces for events and training, a children’s art studio, community gardens, an indoor playground, and a children’s museum.
As we move forward with this project, we will reach out to community members to learn what offerings they want to see included in the building. If you want to support this project, stay tuned for details about our capital campaign.
Please direct questions or comments to Nikki Love, SEAAEYC Creative Director, nlove@aeyc-sea.org, 907-789-1235.
Here are the concept drawings of our vision:
