Volunteerism is the foundation upon which so many of Bloomington’s community assets are built. Not only is BUY itself completely dependent on volunteers to do all of it work, many of the other resources available to youth rely on volunteers to make them happen.
Because of these facts, BUY believes it is important to recognize and show appreciation to all of the volunteers who donate countless hours of their time to making Bloomington the great community for youth that it is. This is why every year we host a recognition event to thank our volunteers.
You can help ensure that Bloomington continues to benefit from our volunteers. Nominate volunteers you know so that they get the recognition they deserve. Attend our annual event and hear their inspiring stories. And, the next time you see one of our past awardees, please say “thank you” again on behalf of all of Bloomington for the great work they do.
