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.
