The Mayoral Service Recognition Program brings New Yorkers together each year to celebrate the power of service. This annual event honors volunteers and service members who build a culture of service, use service as a solution to community challenges, and answer the call to serve to ensure the success of our fellow New Yorkers. Held during National Volunteer Month in April, the program shines a spotlight on the outstanding and diverse volunteer efforts of the previous calendar year.
Submit your nomination today and help us honor those who embody the spirit of service!
Certificates of Recognition
Celebrate volunteerism and service in 2024!
NYC Service issues Mayoral Service Recognition Certificates to honor New York City based organizations and nonprofits (including city agencies) that have engaged volunteers, the organization’s volunteers, and New York City based businesses that have engaged employees in volunteerism.
