A Message from Our Board President & Executive Director

At AL!VE, we know that volunteers are the driving force behind stronger organization, engaged communities, and meaningful impact. The AL!VE Impact Awards recognize individuals and organizations whose leadership, innovation, and commitment to volunteer engagement are advancing our profession and creating lasting change. We are honored to celebrate this year's outstanding award recipients and nominees whose work exemplifies the power of service and inspires all of us to elevate the impact of volunteers around the world. 

Do you know someone making a difference? We encourage you to nominate a colleague, a volunteer engagement leader, an outstanding organization - or even yourself - for an AL!VE Impact Award. By sharing these success stories, we shine a light on the people and programs that are transforming communities and advancing the profession. help us recognize excellence by submitting a nomination and celebrating the remarkable impact of volunteer engagement.
