Name the volunteers of the year in Victoria
Tuesday, 2 March 2010
Do you know an organisation in your community that has supported its volunteers doing amazing things? Is there someone who has displayed outstanding leadership in volunteering and made a real difference in the community?
Nominations for the 2010 Premier's Community Volunteering Awards are now open for individuals or groups that have made a real difference to their communities.
Premier John Brumby said metropolitan and regional awards recognised volunteers or not-for-profit organisations in four categories with winners receiving $5,000 for their efforts.
"Volunteers are the lifeblood of Victoria's strong communities," Mr Brumby said.
"We all have a role in creating a community where people respect themselves, respect others and respect our community.
"Without volunteers our kids wouldn't have a footy coach, meals on wheels would never be cooked or delivered and our beaches wouldn't be patrolled.
"These awards celebrate the contribution organisations and volunteers made to creating stronger communities and are an important part of the Victorian Government's Respect Agenda."
Nominations for the 2010 Premier's Community Volunteering Awards can be made in the following categories:
• Community Volunteering Achievement Award
• Community Volunteering Leadership Award
• Young People's Community Participation Award
• Community Volunteering New Technology Award
Nominations close on Wednesday 24th March 2010 so be quick and nominate an organisation you think deserves to win.
