A 33-year tradition, National Volunteer Week [1], designates a special time to recognize and celebrate the tremendous efforts of volunteers. Since it's inception, presidents, mayors, and other officials have signed proclamations and have participated in this highly visible, nationwide initiative. Volunteer Centers, nonprofits, businesses, government agencies, hospitals, faith-based organizations, and schools utilize National Volunteer Week to highlight their own volunteers and support thousands of service projects in the community.
