Volunteer Recognition Program
Are you a volunteer manager or coordinator who would like to say "thanks" to your dedicated volunteers?
The KCCVS can issue Certificates of Appreciation and/or Governor's Citations signed by the governor at no cost to you.
The KCCVS Volunteer Recognition Program operates year round, with the spring, around National Volunteer Month/Week, being the busiest time for the program. The program is based on requests from volunteer managers and coordinators who are responsible for ensuring the volunteer service deserves the level of recognition requested.
For information on our formal recognition program which involves a nominating, judging and selection process, follow the link to learn about the annual Governor's Awards for Volunteerism and Service.
