Outstanding Volunteers and Projects

Each month Outstanding Volunteers and Outstanding Volunteer Projects are selected from nominations from the West Chester University campus community. Outstanding Student Volunteers are individuals who exhibit an on-going commitment to community service; while Outstanding Service Projects are community service projects that are coordinated by student clubs, organizations, or sports teams that show a deep commitment to our community.

Nominees for Outstanding Volunteer of the Month receive a certificate, pin, and their name on the composite plaque in the Sykes Student Union. The volunteer that is awarded Outstanding Volunteer of the Month is automatically entered for the $200 Volunteer Leadership Scholarship through the West Chester University Parent Fund that is awarded each fall and spring semester.
