“We want schools to understand the
services we provide,” Bullard says, “so if they
encounter a child who could bene昀椀t from
that stability, they know where to turn.”
If there’s one thing Bullard
emphasizes, it’s this: Anchorage
doesn’t do this work alone.
“I want to recognize our community,” she
says. “We have built such strong relationships
that when we face funding challenges or
immediate needs, the community always
steps up. That means so much to me. It’s
comforting to know we can work together.”
Child welfare organizations are easy to
overlook until they’re needed. Bullard is
candid about that reality. “Unless Anchorage
or a child welfare agency has impacted your
life directly, you probably don’t think about
the services we provide,” she says. “But we all
play a role in these children’s lives.”
It’s not about guilt. It’s about awareness—and
the opportunity to step in, even in small ways,
to support something bigger than ourselves.
Because behind every statistic is a teenager
trying to break a cycle. A student trying to
graduate. A young adult trying to build a
future without a safety net. And right now,
Anchorage is working to be that safety net.
It’s a reminder that while Anchorage may
be the hub, the support system extends
far beyond its walls. Every donation, every
volunteer hour, every conversation helps
sustain programs that quite literally change
the trajectory of a young person’s life.
