MISS KANSAS VOLUNTEER 2026

ALAYNA WILSON

Alayna Wilson is a proud PhD student at the University of Kansas studying Speech-Language Pathology. She loves to dance, sing in her car with the windows rolled down, try new restaurants, and read anything she can get her hands on. While pageantry shows the glam side of Alayna, deep down, she’s a small town girl who never thought this opportunity would be possible. Her S.E.R.V.E. Initiative is “Love & Light: Giving Back, Moving Forward.” Her goal this year is to empower the next generation of volunteers, give communities a sense of responsibility and belonging, and show people that volunteering isn’t about perfection- it’s about the people.

She is on a mission to make sure every child feels valued, seen, and accepted for who they are—creating a world where every child feels free to be just a kid like me.
