Each year on April 21, America’s Service Commissions encourages service commissions and volunteer organizations to highlight the impact and importance of the Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF) across the United States in honor of National Volunteer Week (April 20-26, 2025), Global Volunteer Month (April), and the anniversary of when VGF was created under the Serve America Act (signed into law on April 21, 2009).
Are you a community organization or state/territorial service commission that has benefited from VGF? If so, we want you to share your story of volunteer impact; VGF grantees, host sites, and/or organizations; and other volunteer initiatives on social media on Monday, April 21 using the following hashtags: #NVW #VolunteerGeneration #VGF
Even if you've never received a VGF grant, you can still help us celebrate the impact of the program. Learn more and find ASC's toolkit at https://www.statecommissions.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=335:2025-vgf-day&catid=23:news&Itemid=191.
