Do you know a young Alaskan making a big impact? The Youth Summit Awards were created to recognize and celebrate students who inspire us with their leadership, kindness, and determination. From elementary through high school, whether in public, private, charter, or homeschool, these young people are shaping the future of Alaska in extraordinary ways.

Maybe it’s a student who lends their voice to an important cause. Or someone who goes out of their way to support classmates, neighbors, or their community. Or maybe it’s a youth who has achieved personal milestones that show courage, perseverance, and vision. However they shine, we believe their efforts deserve to be honored.

Each honoree will be recognized during our red-carpet celebration, where family, friends, and community leaders will come together to applaud their achievements. Every student selected will receive an award, but more importantly, they’ll leave knowing that what they are doing matters and that their community is proud of them.

Nominate a youth leader today and help us celebrate the next generation of Alaskan changemakers.
