History of Evanston Volunteer Recognition

Evanston is known for being a city with many people who give back to their community by volunteering at many different service organizations. Those who volunteer range in age from the young to the most senior. This tradition has been acknowledged and recognized is a variety of ways over the years. There have been city-wide receptions and recognition of individuals by the City Council. This most recent recognition is an annual reception which is planned and carried out by a joint committee from the Evanston Community Foundation, Evanston Township High School and Northwestern University. The reception is held during the month of April which is the month in which volunteers are recognized across the nation.
