Recognize dedication and support!

The Spirit of Volunteerism Awards is OneOC’s premier volunteer recognition event to honor the incredible partnerships between the volunteers, companies, and nonprofits.

The Spirit of Volunteerism Awards ceremony allows nonprofits, companies, and individuals to recognize volunteers that have made a difference in their communities. This year, we will be awarding honorees in the following categories:

Public Health & Safety, Economic & Workforce Development, Arts & Education, Environment & Sustainability, and Hunger & Homelessness.

Who Qualifies for an SOV Award? 

• Individuals you want to honor that have gone above and beyond during their volunteer time. There is no limit to the number of volunteers that you can honor.
• A team of volunteers who have gone above and beyond during their volunteer time. There is no limit to the amount of volunteers per team.

Giving is Living – In Action! 

In its 46th year, the Spirit of Volunteerism Awards provides the Orange County community the opportunity to recognize individuals and groups for outstanding and innovative volunteer service. For the last 30 years, the Spirit of Volunteerism Awards has been the venue to celebrate the work of influential organizations, families and businesses that participate in outstanding community volunteerism.

This year, OneOC is excited to highlight outstanding corporate volunteer and nonprofit partnerships through Giving is Living – In Action! 

We invite nonprofits, companies and volunteers to submit a short video (30 seconds to 2 minutes long) highlighting a collaborative partnership that has made a significant difference in the community.

Videos will be highlighted on social media leading up to the Spirit of Volunteerism Awards. By submitting a video, you are authorizing OneOC to share and re-purpose the content for use leading up to and during the 2022 Spirit of Volunteerism Awards, as well as future SOV-related marketing efforts.
