National Volunteer Awards Open February 1

National Volunteer Awards Open February 1

It’s time to nominate volunteers and teams for the Emerging Leader Award, the Mission Award, and the new Dream Team Award!

The nomination period for all three awards is February 1-March 17, 2019. Award descriptions, nominee criteria, and nomination forms will all be available on each award’s MyAFS Help & Learning page starting on February 1.

The Emerging Leader Award recognizes an individual who shows the potential to be a future leader within the AFS-USA volunteer structure of their chapter or team. The Mission Award recognizes an outstanding volunteer who has made a significant impact in promoting the core values and mission of AFS through their leadership. And the new Dream Team Award (formerly known as the Tribute Award) recognizes teams for exceptional and outstanding service that benefits AFS-USA volunteers in more than one area of volunteer development and recognition. Most exciting of all, the team that wins the Dream Team Award will receive a $750 prize to be used for volunteer development and/or recognition!

So start nominating! The nomination period for all three awards is February 1-March 17, 2019. Questions not addressed on each award’s MyAFS Help & Learning page can be sent to volrecognition@afsusa.org.
