LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Community Service Commission is encouraging Michiganders to nominate friends, family, and peers who made a difference for others for the 2022 Governor’s Service Awards.

There are several nomination categories for volunteer and philanthropy efforts that took place during the last year, including honors for youth, mentors, and older adults. Organizations will be recognized for civic engagement and businesses that maximize the collective impact of employee volunteerism and corporate social responsibility programs will be honored. Special awards will also be given for lifetime achievement in service and giving.

“I want to encourage every Michigander to consider nominating someone for the 2022 Governor’s Service Awards,” said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “While these past few years have been challenging, so many Michiganders have responded with the grit and determination that defines our state. Michiganders from every corner of our state stepped up and worked hard to support their communities and help their neighbors. I look forward to reading the nominations and recognizing these dedicated Michiganders for their community service.”

To recognize those who go above and beyond, the Governor’s Service Awards have been presented since 1994.

“Michigan has a long tradition of service and helping others,” said Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Director Ginna Holmes. “The Governor’s Service Awards are great opportunity for us to come together and celebrate those who truly made a difference.” 

For nearly 30 years, the Michigan Community Service Commission has supported Michigan volunteers, organizations, and businesses that are committed to service and play a critical role in improving the lives of people and our communities.
