Alaska Women Ascend (AWA) is a non-profit, volunteer-driven training program that empowers progressive women across Alaska to lead — as candidates, campaign staff, and volunteers.
Since 2017, we’ve trained over 400 women statewide.
💜 60% of the 10 newest women elected to the Alaska State House are AWA graduates.
💜 For the first time in state history, women now make up the majority of the Alaska State House — and AWA helped make it happen.
🎯 Our goal: Train 100 more women across Alaska this year. Your gift today will help us get there!
WE SUPPORT WOMEN WHO ARE:
We welcome all women and gender-expansive individuals (including Two-Spirit, non-binary, gender-fluid, and more), regardless of sex assigned at birth.
YOUR GIFT BUILDS POWER
AWA works. Our graduates are winning — and changing Alaska politics for the better.
