Home town, Alaska

Asher Farrally (left) and JJ Hanley (right) are teen ambassadors for Anchorage Youth Speak Out: Conversations About Underage Drinking. They were signed up with by VOA Alaska Coalition Coordinator Aaron Osterback (center) on Hometown, Alaska to discuss teen drinking with host Anne Hillman (not imagined).

Some youths consume alcohol. Others do not. It's pretty obvious on the surface, but the decision making around drinking can be made complex. Many people and experiences shape if and when we choose to drink, and speaking about those influences can be hard. On this episode of Hometown, Alaska we talk to youths and some adults who support them about alcohol use and how to speak about it.
