Step Forward Awards

Every day, volunteers step forward, going the extra mile in their communities. 

The Step Forward Awards recognize these outstanding people and groups for their time and service. Award winners and finalists are thoughtfully selected by our Governor in tribute to the significant contributions made within the state through volunteerism.

Join us as we come together to honor the incredible volunteers who are the heartbeat of our Nebraska communities.
