Help Celebrate Salem's Community Volunteers -07/18/24

• Thousands of volunteers work to make Salem better every year.
• Submit volunteer recognition nominations by August 5.

Salem, Ore. – Do you know a neighbor or friend who volunteers and makes a positive impact on the community? The City of Salem is seeking nominations for volunteer recognition awards whose projects and actions support the mission, vision and values of the City of Salem. 

Volunteers make a significant contribution toward making the Salem community better. The City relies on the skills, energy, time and talent of volunteers who work with paid staff and elected representatives on issues and projects that benefit the community.

The City’s nine award categories honor a wide range of service including among others:

• Business-government partnerships
• Youth
• Neighborhood service
• Special projects
• Work in specific areas of service (education, working with unsheltered people)
• Longstanding service

Now, more than ever, the City wants to celebrate our thousands of community volunteers. Please consider nominating an outstanding volunteer or volunteer group for one of our nine award categories.

The Volunteer Recognition Celebration, including a red-carpet entrance, is set for Sunday, October 20, at 2 p.m. at Loucks Auditorium.

Nominate a deserving volunteer today! Please submit nominations online by August 5.

If you would like to submit your nomination in another way, contact Daniel Balm at the City Manager’s Office, dbalm@cityofsalem.net or 503-588-6255.
