Youth Recreation Coordinator:  Princess Usi

Princess Usi was raised in Unalaska and has proudly called the island home for most of her life. She attended the local elementary and high school, where she was given many opportunities to grow, connect, and give back to the community. It was during her high school years—while volunteering throughout the island—that she discovered her passion for working with children, especially through her time helping in the 360 room. Outside of work, Princess loves spending time with her family and dogs, picking blueberries in the summer, and turning them into homemade pies, muffins, and jam. She also enjoys beach walks, whale watching, and spotting sea otters along the shore. With a naturally bubbly personality and energetic spirit, Princess brings joy into every space she’s in—making her someone children are instantly drawn to.

Currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education through the University of Alaska Anchorage, Princess is deeply committed to giving back to the community that shaped her. Through her volunteer work and hands-on experience in local programs like Teen Council, 360 Program, and Summer Playground Program, she has learned how to create fun, safe, and supportive spaces where children feel seen and valued. She brings a strong balance of warmth, structure, and understanding to her work—offering kids a space where they can grow, express themselves, and feel empowered every step of the way.

One of Princess’s favorite books is The Little Prince, a story that reminds her of the importance of seeing the world through a child’s eyes—full of imagination, curiosity, and heart. That message continues to inspire her as she learns and grows into the youth coordinator she hopes to become. Whether through her college studies, community work, or daily experiences with children, Princess is dedicated to helping young people discover their strengths and carry forward the kindness and connection that make Unalaska such a special place to grow up.
