Take a Minute. Honor Someone Special.
New Jersey’s Governor’s Office on Volunteerism was started quite a few years ago. One of the traditions they got going is the NJ State Governor’s Jefferson Awards. The Awards are given in four general categories:
"Community Pillar" Award for individuals whose volunteer service runs deep and wide, across many categories of service, making significant contribution to life in their community of residence;
"Lifetime Service" Award for those who lifelong commitment to volunteerism has made a measurable impact to the communities they serve;
"Environmental Stewardship" Award goes to volunteers who pioneer and promote energy conservation and environmental action to foster a clean, green, sustainable environment here in NJ; and
The "Ambassador" Award honors those residents who extend their volunteer service beyond the borders of NJ in efforts to make the world a better place.
The Arts and Humanities world is filled with committed, passionate volunteers. There’s still a week left to nominate one of them (or even a non-arts/humanities-related volunteer!). You can do it easily online at the NJ State Governor’s Jefferson Awards site. Nominations must be in by February 15.
