Who is Volunteer of the Year 2023?
The tenth Volunteer of the Year campaign starts on August 14. Citizen Forum is looking for a person who may have worked as a volunteer for a long time or an inspiring beginner in volunteering, to be named as Volunteer of the Year. She can volunteer in any area or industry and anywhere in Finland. The Volunteer of the Year can also be an important force in their community, someone who excels at spurring others on, a resourceful developer of the business, or someone who is otherwise an outstanding volunteer. A person who is also paid for their voluntary work cannot be selected as Volunteer of the Year.
