Celebrating the people who lift Loudoun County higher.
The Loudoun Cares Outstanding Volunteer Awards is an annual event that recognizes the good work of our Loudoun County Volunteers. It is a time to celebrate the time and talent that so many give to our community. We recognize volunteers over 15 categories including individuals & teams for Adults (19-65), Youth (under 19), and Seniors (over 65). Project Leader, Project, Veteran, Corporate, Civic/Community Organizations, and Nonprofit Board of Directors categories are also available. The Judy Hines Service of a Lifetime Award is for volunteers with 10 or more years of service here in Loudoun County.
We honor excellence in volunteerism across 15+ categories, including:
Adults (19–65) — Individual & Team
Youth (Under 19) — Individual & Team
Seniors (65+) — Individual & Team
Veteran
Project Leader & Volunteer Project
Corporate Volunteerism
Civic/Community Organizations
Nonprofit Board of Directors
And our highest honor, the Judy Hines Service of a Lifetime Award, recognizes a volunteer who has dedicated 10+ years of extraordinary service to Loudoun County.
Behind every thriving community are volunteers who show up consistently, humbly, and wholeheartedly. The Loudoun Cares Outstanding Volunteer Awards exists for them. If you know someone whose service deserves the spotlight, we want to hear their story.
Nominating a volunteer is one of the most meaningful ways to say thank you and to celebrate the difference they make in our county. Submitting a nomination is simple and meaningful. Just complete the nomination form, share why your nominee stands out, and attach any relevant supporting details.
Nominate a volunteer, team, or organization today so we can show them how much their service means to Loudoun County.
The Outstanding Volunteer Awards is more than an awards ceremony—it’s a celebration of the spirit of service that defines Loudoun County. It’s a night filled with gratitude, inspiring stories, community pride, and the chance to recognize people who rarely ask for recognition but deeply deserve it.
When we honor our volunteers, we honor the best of who we are as a community.
