Do you know someone who has made a
big difference in his or her community?

The Corporation for National and Community Service is committed to recognizing and celebrating outstanding service by their volunteers, members, and alumni. The Spirit of Service Awards pay tribute to the most outstanding participants in each of the Corporation’s programs - including Senior Corps, AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve America - as well as corporate or foundation partners that are role models for private sector support of national and community service.

The Corporate, Senior Corps, and AmeriCorps awards will be presented to the winners during special ceremonies at the 2009 National Conference on Volunteering and Service, June 22-24, in San Francisco, CA. The Learn and Serve America awards will be presented at the National Youth Leadership Conference, March 18-21, in Nashville, TN. Nominations are currently being sought, and nominees must exemplify the spirit of national service, demonstrate exceptional service or leadership, and serve as role models for others in their community.
