Volunteer Appreciation

Volunteers nominate outstanding adults who have contributed over and above the expected level of service. Recognitions are presented during a special event each spring.

Council and Service Unit nomination forms and other information concerning recognitions may be obtained from your Service Unit Manager, Membership Specialist or from the Service Center.
