Recognizing Outstanding Contributions To Volunteerism

Administered by Volunteer NH! in collaboration with The Office of Governor John Lynch

The Spirit of New Hampshire awards program recognizes outstanding contributions to volunteerism and expands on the many local and regional volunteer recognition events that occur throughout New Hampshire each year. The program provides a timely “snapshot” of the many different ways citizens and organizations from all regions of the state contribute to life in New Hampshire.

Nominations for Spirit of New Hampshire awards are accepted year-round in two broad categories:  Volunteer Service Awards and Volunteer Program Champion Awards.  Just visit the Volunteer NH! website for detailed guidelines and nomination forms.  Volunteer Service Nominations in the Youth, Adult and Senior categories are also eligible for a New Hampshire Volunteer of the Month Award.

Think about people, non-profits, businesses, schools, church groups, service clubs, municipalities, and state agencies that contribute to everyday life in your region - through their volunteer service or support for volunteers.  Then make some nominations! The process is simple and we’re here to help with any questions.  Nomination packets are now available on our website. 

Nominations are accepted on an on-going basis. (To be considered for a category award at the November 10th gala in Concord, nominations must be received by September 15, 2009) Nomination materials available at www.volunteernh.org  (Or call 1-800-780-8058)
