Overview
The Spirit of NH Awards is an annual volunteer recognition ceremony designed to honor those that served NH communities. All eligible nominees will receive recognition at the event, with one nominee in each category designated as the "Outstanding" awardee.
There are two types of Spirit of NH Awards, outlined below. Your category choice will indicate which type of award your eligible nominee will receive.
Volunteer Service awards recognize individual volunteers and groups of volunteers who provide volunteer services that strengthen communities and improve the lives of New Hampshire residents.
This category includes:
*Youth/Young Adult (Age 22 and younger)
*Adult (age 23-64)
*Senior (age 65+)
*AmeriCorps (any individual from a national service program, including AmeriCorps State/National, VISTA, NCCC, and/or AmeriCorps Seniors programs)
*Group (any group of 2+ individuals that volunteer together)
Volunteer Champion awards recognize outstanding nonprofit/public service organizations and businesses with volunteer programs that provide the infrastructure for volunteers to be successful in their service. Awards in the Volunteer Champion category recognize things such as excellent program management, fund development efforts that sustain volunteer programs, and commitment of time/resources to engage employees in community volunteer roles.
This category includes:
*Nonprofit/Program (any nonprofit or volunteer program within a nonprofit)
*Business (any business that promoted volunteerism for its employees and/or the community)
One individual or group within the Volunteer Service category will be selected for the overall Spirit of NH Award, which is the highest award presented. The award is not announced until the ceremony.
