Nominations are now being accepted for the 2021 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award.

The awards program, created by the office of the governor in 1979, recognizes North Carolina’s most dedicated volunteers. 

Through the years the award has been bestowed on thousands of North Carolinians who have shown concern and compassion for their neighbors by volunteering in their local community.

Each county selects up to 10 individuals, businesses, groups or teams and one paid director of volunteers to be recognized for their outstanding contributions to their communities. 

One of the nominees will be nominated for the Governor’s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service, which is awarded to the top 20 volunteers in the state. A local committee evaluates the nominations.

Nomination forms are available at this link and a PDF of the form can be downloaded at this link.

With county offices closed, arrangements should be made for pick-up via email, mail or fax by contacting award coordinator Christina Wells at 252-583-1131 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
