Here are some highlights from the award announcement showing why the Council was chosen:

The Alaska Council strengthens families by implementing inclusive, quality programs for youth that are accessible and affordable for working parents.

The council invests significant time and resources to advocating for services that support families throughout the state.

The council has a full time staff position, the Family Services Program Manager, who is dedicated to engaging and supporting families.

We are very proud of this recognition and are most grateful to our staff and for the generous support we receive each year from the many individuals, corporations and foundations who share our vision and our commitment to Alaska's youth and families.
