Dalton Ante

At just 12 years old, Dalton has shown incredible dedication to his community, particularly through his work with The Alaska Humane Society. Since he was 10, he has volunteered weekly to clean the shelter and care for the cats, raising over $6,000 to support their needs. His efforts include fundraising and assisting in building individual cat apartments. Dalton also helps at his former school, Bear Valley, where he supports teachers and recently testified twice to advocate against its closure. He has forgone birthday presents for shelter donations, led holiday efforts for the animals, and is planning a 2025 food drive. Dalton’s compassion and leadership inspire others to take action and make a difference.
