The Volunteer Center of RI (VCRI) seeks to recognize the impact that volunteers are making on solving problems, building better communities and reaching out selflessly to improve lives. Each year, we recognize extraordinary programs that harness volunteers to "make a difference" with our Community Impact Award. One PROGRAM in each of the following areas is eligible for nomination: Education; Environment; Cultural/Arts; Health & Human Services; Youth; Seniors.

Only agencies that are members of the VCRI are eligible to be nominated. If you are an organization, a government agency, an interested individual, or a beneficiary of an organization's efforts in those categories, contact the VCRI with your nomination by March 31, 2005.
