The Commonwealth of Virginia is calling on residents to nominate exceptional volunteers, organizations and businesses for the 2024 Governor’s Volunteerism & Community Service Awards. These annual honors celebrate the contributions of Virginians who dedicate their time and energy to causes that create positive change across the state.

From individuals who inspire through their selfless commitment, to groups making a powerful impact in their communities, the awards shine a light on the transformative power of service. Serve Virginia and the Virginia Service Foundation, which present the awards, aim to recognize the millions of generous people improving lives through volunteerism each year.

Selected honorees will be recognized by the governor at a ceremony hosted at the Executive Mansion in Richmond. All nominees will be featured on the Serve Virginia Honor Roll, celebrating their spirit of service.

Virginians are encouraged to nominate volunteers, organizations, faith-based groups, schools, businesses and any other exceptional citizens before the June 25 deadline at 5 p.m.

Nomination forms and criteria can be found at virginiaservice.virginia.gov/awards.
