Did you know that over one third of local residents spend time volunteering in our community? This makes Rochester one of the most active cities in America for volunteerism.
Each year, the ESL Jefferson Awards honors individuals who tirelessly give of their time to help others in our community.
Five finalists will be selected from among the nominees. Of those five, one will be chosen as the Greater Rochester regional honoree. This volunteer will be eligible for the national award and will attend the National Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C. in June 2018.
