First Lady’s Volunteer of the Year Awards

Recognizing Outstanding Volunteers Statewide

First Lady Rose Dunleavy invites Alaskans to recognize their fellow citizens who have performed extraordinary volunteer service by nominating them for the First Lady’s Volunteer of the Year Awards.

The annual awards recognize volunteers who engage in unpaid charitable activities, demonstrate personal commitment to long-term volunteer services, and make a significant impact for Alaskans.

An executive committee, comprised of Alaskan community members, will select award recipients to be recognized for their outstanding volunteer contributions.

The 2026 nomination period closes March 13, 2026. Award recipients will be announced in the spring and recognized at a luncheon ceremony at the People’s House in Juneau.
