Volunteer Recognition Ideas and Wording

Volunteers are the Lifeblood of so Many Organizations

Generous with their time and talents, volunteers bring light and life to many incredible charitable and community endeavors. Recognizing these altruistic individuals for their valuable contributions is an essential part of the annual events of these groups.

Volunteer Recognition Awards can focus on individuals who contribute to an event, a goal, or a certain number of hours or years of service that are performed. These recognition awards can be given to an individual or a team. Often volunteers are recognized during a volunteer gathering where the executive leaders of the organization can publicly thank these individuals for their contributions and present them with a series of thank you gifts and recognition plaques and awards.

Whether you need to create one Volunteer Award for a very special member of your team, or a series of awards to recognize multiple groups of volunteers, this list is to help you find the perfect words to thank them for their contributions.
