2025 Governors Volunteer Stars Awards

The 2025 Governor's Volunteer Stars Awards (GVSA), Tennessee's premier volunteer recognition, will be on Sun., March 8, 2026. Registration opens at 11 a.m.

Volunteer Tennessee strives to recognize outstanding individuals, businesses, and non-profits from across the state with this celebration. Since 2008, participating counties have conducted a call for nominations to recognize one outstanding youth and one outstanding adult volunteer. The event also honors one business and one non-profit from each of Tennessee's three Grand Divisions for their exceptional community involvement and service.

All guests must register online by February 13, 2026.
