NJ
Governor's Volunteer Awards:
If
you truly value your volunteers, take the
time to put that in writing. You may have
a church group that has been running your
prayer group for years, or a teenager who
comes every week and calls bingo. Some facilities
have volunteers who transport residents
from one floor to another. Every area that
a volunteer donates his or her time is important.
Nominating a volunteer is great PR for your
community and your facility. You can place
the nomination in your local paper as a
press release and later, should your volunteer
win, place that in the paper too! It speaks
volumes about the way you think of your
volunteers and the value you place on your
volunteer program. Contact your Governors
Office to find out more information about
Volunteer Awards for your state.
This
award is for any individual or volunteer
organization actively involved in volunteer
activities that benefit the community of
NJ. Volunteer can be any age, religion,
etc. Students who volunteer to receive course
credits are eligible. Contact for a nomination
