Alaska Communications’ Summer of Heroes is a partnership program between Alaska Communications and Boys & Girls Clubs – Alaska to promote awareness and support for youth development programs throughout the state.
Running from April through September 2017, the program includes two main components – a youth recognition program and a cause-related sales promotion – highlighted by several events throughout the summer to engage Alaskans and drive meaningful participation.
NOMINATE A YOUTH
Do you know a young person who is making a difference in his or her community? Nominate them for the 2017 Summer of Heroes program!
Any youth who meet the following criteria can self-nominate or be nominated by someone they know. This could be a parent, guardian, sibling, teacher, coach, mentor, friend or anyone who has a relationship with the child and believes they should be recognized as a local Alaska hero.
