Our #storyofservice today highlights the service and accomplishments of 2022 Governor’s Awards on Volunteerism and Community Service – Outstanding Young Adult Volunteer, Justin Stimpson! 👏

Seeing the challenges facing middle school students today, Justin knew there was an opportunity to make a difference and give back to students in his hometown. Bringing together students from the @hsc1776 Hampden Sydney community and Cycling Club, his fraternity, and the Cumberland County School District, he organized a program to inspire Cumberland Middle School students to be their best selves by rewarding students for their hard work with tickets to win a bicycle during an end-of-year raffle.

The impact of the program extended beyond the donated bicycles, however. “During the time of running the program, we saw an uptick in positive behaviors,” said Cumberland Middle School Principal Andrew Hoyt. “Justin timed the program to lead up to SOLs to help students focus and to get in the right mindsets to finish out the year.” The end-of-year pep rally and bike raffle recharged and inspired all students, whether or not they won.

Thank you Justin for your service! The Governor is currently accepting nominations for the 2023 Governor’s Awards on Volunteerism. Highlight an incredible volunteer you know with the link in our bio.

That's a wrap on another successful Virginia Volunteerism Summit! ⭐️

We kicked off this year's Summit strong with a keynote presentation from Virginia Service Commission Director, Kathy Spangler, who shared how Serve Virginia is focusing on our reimagined mission to build a stronger culture of service in all corners of the Commonwealth.

To accomplish this mission, we’ve been busy. At the Summit, we had the privilege of unveiling the Virginia Community Engagement Index findings, a first-of-its-kind study to understand the state of service, volunteerism and civic action in Virginia. We also launched a new Volunteer Personality Quiz this week which kicks off a statewide campaign to invite Virginians to ‘pair their passion with purpose’ and explore volunteerism.

Take the quiz for yourself and find out which categories of service complement you best with the link in bio.
