Each year, the Governor’s Volunteer Awards honor those who demonstrate exceptional commitment to supporting rehabilitation, restoration, and successful reentry through volunteer service. From faith‑based and nonprofit leaders to mentors, educators, and community organizations, these award recipients embody the belief that positive change is possible when Texans come together with purpose.
The awards were created in 1995 through collaborative efforts between the Office of Governor George W. Bush and the Texas Board of Criminal Justice.
