Alaska State Lead Ambassador

Jen Chikoyak

Jen Chikoyak has been a public health advocate partnering with ACS CAN for over 20 years. She specializes in helping people find their voice and apply those unique voices to help solve community challenges.

Why are you a cancer advocate?

It is a way to use my skills to put policy in place to protect residents and ease the life of cancer patients and their caregivers.

What is your proudest accomplishment as an ACS CAN volunteer?

My proudest accomplishment was seeing all the advocates I helped train as we gathered to see the statewide smoke-free workplaces bill be signed into law.

Why should others in your community get involved in ACS CAN?

Others should get involved to learn more about policy and how one person can affect change and improve lives for thousands of others.
