Protecting the Human Rights of Alaskans
The Alaska Institute for Justice (AIJ) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the human rights of all Alaskans. Formerly known as the Alaska Immigration Justice Project, it transformed into the Alaska Institute for Justice to reflect the inclusion of an additional program dedicated to climate and social justice issues, the Alaska Climate Justice Program.

Our Mission
Our mission is to promote and protect the human rights of all Alaskans including immigrants, refugees and Alaska Native communities. We house three programs: Alaska Immigration Justice Project (Legal Services); Language Interpreter Center; Alaska Climate Justice Program.
Alaska Immigration Justice Project
Legal staff provide critical legal services to Alaska’s immigrant and refugee communities, prioritizing legal representation for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking and those fleeing torture and persecution in their country of origin. We strive to ensure that immigrants are aware of their legal rights and options and to provide high-quality, low cost, and free legal representation.
