Yes, I am sure. The sentence "Alex will be taken out for ice cream by his parents to celebrate his hard work" is indeed in passive voice. In passive voice constructions, the subject of the sentence (in this case, Alex) receives the action rather than performing it. The focus is on the action being done to the subject, and the doer (his parents) is expressed later in the sentence.
In contrast, an active voice version of this sentence would be: "His parents will take Alex out for ice cream to celebrate his hard work," where the doer of the action (his parents) is the subject of the sentence.
