Do you know a volunteer star?
The Governor's Volunteer Stars Awards [tn.gov] celebrate Tennessee’s exceptional volunteers who make a lasting impact in their communities through volunteering and community service! Each year, every county selects one Adult and one Youth to receive this prestigious award.
The United Way of Greater Nashville receives submissions for Davidson, Stewart, Robertson, Sumner, Cheatham, Houston, and Williamson counties. Whether the volunteer beautified a park, tutored kids, or delivered meals to families in need, we want to hear their story!
Judging for submissions is based on the four Governor’s Awards criteria: Need, Action, Innovation, and Impact. Take a few minutes to fill out our submission form and tell us about their amazing work so they may be recognized at the upcoming Governor's Volunteer Stars Awards Ceremony in February 2027!
Nominations will close on October 23, 2026!
