Nomination Form - 2025 Volunteer of the Year Awards

The 37th Volunteer of the Year Awards Luncheon will recognize adults, young people, and organizations that, through volunteer efforts, help to make Schaumburg a better place. Volunteerism is central to what makes Schaumburg the vibrant community that it is. Schaumburg's 20+ committees and commissions are all comprised of volunteers. Volunteers organize and operate Septemberfest. Volunteers serve as members of the Village’s Plan Commission, Zoning Board, and Bikeways Committee. Volunteers hire Schaumburg’s police officers and firefighters through the Police and Fire Commission. The number of volunteers that serve in these positions is small in comparison to the number of people who volunteer, day after day, throughout the community including local businesses.

Please take some time on behalf of volunteers and nominate an adult, a Junior High or High School age student and/or a worthy organization for recognition. We want to celebrate the good that people are doing and the fine work that volunteer organizations are involved in. Help us give them the recognition they deserve!

It is free to submit a nomination. Admission to attend the luncheon is $35 per person; however, there is no charge for nominees. Submit a nomination in one or more categories:

• Adult Volunteer
• Volunteer Organization
• Youth Volunteer (junior high or high school age) 
  Attention Schools: Nominate a Student to Represent Your School!

Nominees can represent social, civic, religious, community, school, and nonprofit organizations within the Village of Schaumburg and Schaumburg Township community including local businesses. Winners will be selected by a panel of judges after nominations from the residential and business communities are reviewed. All nominees will receive a certificate of merit. Each of the three winners will receive an award.
