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.
Nominations will be accepted through Feb. 10. To nominate an individual, complete the form below, or click here to print and mail the form.
Five finalists will be selected. Of those five, one will be chosen as the Greater Rochester regional honoree.
This volunteer will be eligible for the national award and attend the National Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C. in June 2020.
