AkSCA Forum.  AkSCA provides an online meeting place that provides Alaska school counselors with a shared calendar, discussion forums, member profiles, photo gallery, file storage and more. (members only)

Awards.  AkSCA recognizes its best school counselors (must be an AkSCA member for the current year and the previous year) and advocates (only nominated by members of AkSCA) who make a difference among kids and familites.

Resource Center.  The AkSCA resource center (members only) houses important content such as professional development resources (e.g., handouts from our annual conference and other meetings), promotional materials, and much more.

Website.  The AkSCA website is comprehensive and still growing.  The purpose of the AkSCA website is to provide support for all of AkSCA's goals and to make it easy for Alaska school counselors to stay informed, collaborate, and network.
