The Ashe County Board of Commissioners presents the thirty-seventh annual awards program to honor outstanding volunteers and organizations in the county.  Due to the public health crisis, the reception and awards ceremony will be announced at a later date.

The success of the awards program depends on the willingness of our community leaders and representatives to nominate deserving organizations and individuals.  If you would like to nominate someone, you can do so by contacting Jennifer Richardson, Ashe County Volunteer Coordinator, at 336-246-4347.  If you would like an electronic copy of the entry form, send your request to jenniferrichardson@ashecountygov.com or go to the Generations Ashe website.  Entry forms must be returned to Generations Ashe c/o Jennifer Richardson no later than 5:00pm, Friday, February 18, 2022 or may be emailed to jenniferrichardson@ashecountygov.com.  The winners of the Volunteer of the Year awards are determined by the essay written describing the volunteer service performed.  Please attach no more than a one page, typed or legibly written essay.  Please be as thorough as possible as this information is used to determine the volunteers of the year in the Individual, Family, Group/Team, Youth, Senior, Faith-Based, Corporate/Business, National Service, and Director of Volunteers with several other service categories.

Nominations will not be accepted after this date.

Ashe County owes a great deal to the hundreds of individuals who volunteer their time in so many ways to make our county a better place to live and work.  We welcome this opportunity to honor those volunteers and show our appreciation for the services they provide.
