[Madison, WI] – Serve Wisconsin is pleased to open nominations for the 2025 Governor’s Service Awards.

The Governor’s Service Awards honor individuals and programs for their exceptional dedication to service through AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps Seniors, and other impactful volunteer initiatives. Additionally, the ceremony will recognize a Volunteer of the Year across multiple categories of volunteerism, highlighting the extraordinary value and contributions of volunteers to communities statewide.

Nominations are due on Monday, March 17, and the award ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 15, at 2:00 p.m. at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison.

When honoring the recipients of the 2024 Governor’s Service Awards, Governor Tony Evers told the 2024 honorees that “so much of our local impact rests on the shoulders of dedicated volunteers and organizations such as yourselves, and we could not have the reach or influence that we do in this state without partners like all of you. Whether you have been doing this work for two years or twenty years, rest assured, the work you are doing is truly making our state a better place for Wisconsin kids, families, and communities everywhere.”

Jeanne Duffy, Serve Wisconsin’s Executive Director, echoed the Governor’s sentiments, emphasizing the profound impact of the honorees’ efforts, stating that “these individuals have gone above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of others. They are assisting homeless youth, offering compassion and care to our vulnerable seniors, and ensuring our youth have the necessary resources, education, and love to thrive. Their selfless efforts have made a tangible difference in the lives of countless fellow community members.”

Nominations for the awards are due on Monday, March 17, with the 2025 nomination form and information on past recipients is available on the Serve Wisconsin website at https://www.servewisconsin.wi.gov/governors-service-awards.
