This annual recognition program is administered by Volunteer NH!
in collaboration with the Office of the Governor. Spirit of New
Hampshire awards honor outstanding contributions to volunteerism
throughout the state of New Hampshire. They augment the many local
recognition events that show appreciation for the work of community
volunteers and volunteer programs.
Each fall, a statewide celebration is held in Concord to present
Spirit of New Hampshire Awards in two major groups:
- Volunteer Service Awards
recognize individuals and groups who provide volunteer services
that strengthen communities and improve the lives of the citizens
of New Hampshire. These awards honor outstanding volunteers
– or groups of volunteers – who reflect the strong
ethic of service and volunteerism in our state.
- Volunteer Program Champion
Awards recognize outstanding volunteer programs that
provide the infrastructure for volunteers to be successful in
their service. Awards in the Volunteer Program Champion category
recognize excellent program management, fund development efforts
that sustain volunteer programs, and commitment of time/resources
to engage employees in community volunteer
roles.
In addition to honoring volunteers at the annual fall
celebration, Volunteer NH! also administers the New Hampshire Volunteer of the Month Award, in
collaboration with the Office of Governor John Lynch. This monthly
award is presented at a scheduled meeting of the Governor and
Executive Council and honors a youth, an adult, or a senior whose
volunteer contributions improve life in New Hampshire.
