Every year, we celebrate the heart and soul of Whittier—the incredible volunteers who make a difference. Do you know someone extraordinary whose dedication deserves recognition? 

We're calling on you to nominate your standout volunteer for the Volunteer of the Year Awards! 

Whether they've brightened lives through community service or sparked positive change, we want to honor those who've gone the extra mile. 

The Volunteer of the Year program, sponsored by the Whittier Social Services Commission, annually honors volunteers who provide outstanding service within the City of Whittier. Volunteers so honored will be invited to a recognition reception at City Hall.
