Overview
Volunteer NH invites you to recognize volunteers and volunteer champions serving New Hampshire communities within the past 18 months by submitting an award nomination (or more than one!) for the 2024 Spirit of NH Awards.
This statewide volunteer recognition ceremony shines a light on the dedicated service of volunteers as well as the critical infrastructure that sets volunteers up to make a positive community impact. Awards are in the following categories:
- Youth/Young Adult (ages 22 and younger)
- Adult (ages 23-64)
- Senior (ages 65 and older)
- AmeriCorps (any individual who served in an AmeriCorps State/National/VISTA/Seniors/NCCC program)
- Group (2+ people who regularly volunteer together or with the same organization)
- Business (any business that has promoted volunteerism for its employees and/or the community)
- Nonprofit/Program (any nonprofit or volunteer program within a nonprofit that has used volunteers for big impact).
All eligible nominees will be recognized with an award at the event. Additionally, an independent review committee will select:
- One Outstanding Award for each category; and
- The top honor, the Spirit of NH Award, which is kept secret until presented on event night.
As a parallel to this esteemed, committee-selected award, the general public will vote to decide the People’s Choice Award recipient based on awardee interviews shared in the weeks leading up to the event.
