Volunteer of the Year Award

CEPS VOLUNTEER AWARD LOGO

The first CEPS Volunteer of the Year Award was held in December 2016. Vijay Construction is the main sponsor of the award. The award allows CEPS to give prominence to volunteerism and recognize the works being undertaken by volunteers within the platform.

Throughout the years, it has been recognized that citizens do not embrace volunteerism today as compared to before. As a matter of fact there are clear signs which are calling for actions to rekindle and reenergize the spirit of volunteerism, which was all along a natural response valued by our nation.

The aim of the Award:

Volunteer of the Year Award has the following objectives:

1. To recognize volunteers’ contributions in communities

2. To honor individuals who have overcome significant challenges in dispensing their benevolent/charitable services;

3. To honor individuals who have made exemplary benevolent contributions and services for an extensive and a minimum period of time one year;

4. To recognise innovative and inventive approaches in volunteerism;

5. To recognise voluntary services that have led to long-lasting results;

6. To recognise voluntary services that have led to sustainable programmes by the civil society organisation involved.
