SAGA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve lives, lands, and communities in Alaska through Service Learning. SAGA was founded

in 1985 as a way to fill the void left when federal funding ended for the Youth and Young Adult Conservation Corps programs in the early 1980s. The focus of providing job training, experiential education, and leadership opportunities to young people has grown over the years into five SAGA programs: The Serve Alaska Youth Corps; the Alaska Service Corps; Young Alaskans Building Affordable Housing (YABAH); the Connections Individual Placement Program; and the Eagle Valley Center. These programs all represent our continuing dedication to helping young people make the connection between what they learn and how they live.
