General Information |
|
The Governor's Awards for Volunteerism and Service program, formerly called the Governor's Awards for Outstanding Volunteer Service, celebrates the extraordinary volunteer efforts of Kentuckians all across the commonwealth. Awards are presented at an annual ceremony in Frankfort.
Virtually everyone knows at least one of those exceptional people who give their time, talent, enthusiasm and support to serve the unmet needs of others while asking nothing in return but the satisfaction of helping. Volunteers give selflessly of themselves to help improve the lives of countless others. They perform their good deeds largely unnoticed and wholly without compensation.
"There are so many Kentuckians who regularly help their neighbors, and this is a good way to say 'thank you' to some of Kentucky's great unsung heroes and role models," said Eileen Cackowski, KCCVS director.
