The Kentucky Governor’s Office is recognizing the contributions of community volunteers across the commonwealth.
Nominations are now being accepted for the Governor’s Service Awards, which honor Kentuckians whose dedicated service is improving the lives of others. Now in its 30th year, a special ceremony is held to publicly honor the recipients and others who have served their communities “through volunteering and service without expectation of reward or commendation.”
According to the governor’s office, nominators should provide detailed examples of service activities, impact, leadership, and community outcomes. The nominations will be reviewed by a statewide panel, with selected honorees recognized at a ceremony in Frankfort in April.
The governor’s office says nominations may highlight service in areas such as education, public health, food security, disaster response, social supports, community revitalization, nonprofit leadership, and more. Previous honorees have been individuals, youth, AmeriCorps members, nonprofits, veterans, and faith-based organizations.
Nominations are due by January 6. More information on the awards and volunteer efforts in the commonwealth, along with the required nomination form, can be found at serve.ky.gov.
