Working for Recover Alaska is all about progressing the Recovery Movement in Alaska. It’s thrilling to be on a team that encourages and acts on ingenuity, connection, equity, and self-growth—while at the same time working whole-heartedly to reduce the harms of alcohol usage for all of us. It’s not just a job, it’s a calling to be part of something much greater than yourself.
