The Serve Virginia Honor Roll celebrates the valuable contributions of volunteers across the Commonwealth. In recognition of the service provided by over 2.2 million Virginians, the Serve Virginia Honor Roll spotlights the volunteers that serve their communities in a variety of ways, promoting quality of life and creating a lasting impact for others. We’d also like to thank our partners across Virginia at Loudoun Cares, Volunteer Alexandria, Volunteer Hampton Roads, William & Mary, Christopher Newport University, the University of Richmond, and Virginia’s AmeriCorps program sites for empowering these individuals and organizations to make a difference and nominating them for Honor Roll distinction. The inaugural Honor Roll was announced in May 2023 and it continues as a bi-annual program.
The January 2024 Serve Virginia Honor Roll is listed below, featuring nominations from the Arlington Cares Awards coordinated by Volunteer Arlington as well as the Governor’s Awards for Volunteerism & Community Service.
