Don’t forget – April is National Volunteer Month! If you have a volunteer recognition program or event scheduled for National Volunteer Month or Volunteer Week, April 18-24, you may want to consider requesting a Governor’s Volunteer Recognition Certificate for your exceptional volunteers.
The proper recognition of volunteers is an important component in any volunteer program, large or small. Participation in this program will help bring attention to the powerful ways in which volunteers build our communities and make Nevada a better state for all of us. While the Governor’s Volunteer Recognition Certificate is designed to recognize exceptional volunteers, it is Nevada Volunteers’ hope to inspire new volunteers and encourage existing volunteers to greater engagement. We hope you will use these certificates to reward and recognize your outstanding volunteers.
The time is now! Please submit your requests as soon as possible for them to be ready during National Volunteer Week/Month.
