Nominate your community stars: 2025 Governor’s Points of Light Awards open

RENO – Each fall, Gov. Joe Lombardo and Nevada Volunteers honor the Stars of Nevada-Governor’s Points of Light Awards on extraordinary Nevadans who positively influence our state through volunteerism and service. Online nominations are now open for 2025 finalists.

“These awards celebrate the individuals and organizations who model Nevada values of service, responsibility, cooperation, compassion, and the power of partnership,” Beth Bartel, Nevada Volunteers Commission Chair said. “It’s an inspirational and aspirational experience to learn about the impact that service has across Nevada.”  

The Stars of Nevada – Governor’s Points of Light Awards is the highest honor bestowed by a Nevada Governor and the nonprofit Nevada Volunteers.

“Service strengthens Nevada communities, and we believe those who give their time and energy to help their fellow Nevadans deserve to be recognized,” Zanny Marsh, Nevada Volunteers Executive Director said.

For more than 25 years, Nevada Volunteers—the Governor’s Commission on Service—has inspired a culture of national service and volunteerism across Nevada. Through its grant-making partnership with AmeriCorps, the nonprofit administers funding for national service programs and projects for Nevada’s unpaid workforce.

Online nominations will be accepted through May 31, 2025, and can be submitted at the Nevada Volunteers website or by visiting this link: https://bit.ly/2025Stars.
