Serve Wisconsin now Accepting Nominations for the 2024 Governor’s Service Awards

Serve Wisconsin is pleased to open nominations for the 2024 Governor’s Service Awards. The award ceremony will be held on Wednesday, May 15, at the Green Lake Conference Center.

The Governor’s Service Awards honor outstanding national service members, volunteers, and programs. Those honored by these awards will have made significant contributions to Wisconsin through their service, with their generous service impacting the lives of countless Wisconsinites. Awards will recognize outstanding national service by individuals and programs serving through AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors and the tremendous impact volunteers make throughout the state by honoring a Volunteer of the Year from multiple categories of volunteer service.

When honoring the recipients of the 2023 Governor’s Service Awards, Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez told the 2023 honorees that “each of you represent a different path and approach to service and are sharing your unique skills, experiences and insights in a way that allow you to have the greatest impact.” She then told them that “whether you are working with individuals to advance their education goals, ensuring that people in need have access to quality, affordable health care, or being an agent of positive change for local families and communities, each of you is without a doubt, making a real, measurable difference in the lives of the people that you serve, and I thank you for doing that. So much of our local impact rests on the shoulders of dedicated volunteers and organizations like yourselves, and we could not have the reach and influence in this state without partners like all of you.”

Nominations for the awards are due on Monday, March 18, with the 2024 nomination form and information on past recipients is available on the Serve Wisconsin website at https://www.servewisconsin.wi.gov/governors-service-awards.
