Volunteer of the Year Program

Volunteers - the backbone of the PTA. Whether at the Local Unit, or the National, volunteers are what keep the PTA moving ahead and in the right direction. Volunteers come in all shapes, sizes, and personality. For every volunteer you have, there is a different reason for them being there, but the bottom line is that PTA volunteers are there for the children and youth. There are also a million different ways that people volunteer. Some are in the classroom working one on one with a student, or teacher, others are out there talking to their school boards or other governing authorities making sure that bills are passed that benefit our children and youth. Others are out there serving on school committees, or PTA programs. They also work in a myriad of different ways, some are quiet and surefooted, while others are outspoken. We have the dreamers and those that carry out the dreams. The idea people and the do-it people. But the one thing all PTA Volunteers have in common is their advocacy for all children and youth. To recognize the importance of the volunteer to our organization, The Virginia PTA has instituted the Virginia PTA Volunteer of the Year Award.
