Our Mission

Over the next few years, the Miss Alaska Volunteer Organization will be adding qualified individuals to our board of directors. Our goal is to promote the Miss Volunteer America program and provide educational scholarships to young women across the state of Alaska. As we continue to grow, we will soon become the most rewarding scholarship pageant in the state.
