Volunteer Recognition

Marion County Board of Commissioners recognize outstanding volunteers with annual volunteer awards. Volunteers are recognized in 5 categories: Youth Volunteer of the Year (under the age of 24), Advisory Board Volunteer of the Year, Division/Program Award, Commissioner Mary Pearmine Outstanding Volunteer Group Award, and the Judge Rex Hartley Volunteer of the Year Award.

Anyone may nominate a county volunteer or group for this annual recognition. Volunteers may be honored for ongoing or past service to a program, or for work on a one-time project, during the calendar year 2021. Nominations are accepted year-round, with an annual deadline set each year. The deadline to submit a nomination for the 2022 Volunteer Awards is Friday, February 24, 2023.
