AUGUSTA — A total of 337 adults and 58 children will be recognized on the Maine Adult and Youth Volunteer Rolls of Honor for their volunteer efforts in 2019. Collectively, the volunteers performed 389,905 hours of community service in Maine. The Rolls of Honor celebrate Maine citizens who go above and beyond in serving their communities, according to a news release from Volunteer Maine, the state service commission.

The adult honorees collectively logged 383,004 hours of community service in 2019. Over half of the adults served through Penquis Community Action Agency, a nonprofit that aids low — income families and individuals in Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Knox counties. These 183 volunteers provided medical transportation to low—income individuals and tutored children as part of the Penquis Foster Grandparents Senior Corps program, where volunteers supported literacy and healthy development in schools and child care centers. All recognized adults performed at least 500 hours of community service in 2019.

Thirty-six of the recognized youth volunteers are students at Brunswick High School, which requires every student to log 30 hours of community service before graduation. The recognized BHS students exceeded that requirement throughout their service, which included efforts in elementary schools, hospitals and humane shelters, and like all other honorees on the Young Maine Volunteer Roll of Honor, performed at least 50 hours of community service.

The honorees on the Young Maine Volunteer Roll of Honor performed a total of 6,901 hours of community service in 2019. Out of respect for privacy, the youth honoree’s names will not be made public.

2020 Maine Adult Volunteer Roll of Honor
The Maine Volunteer Roll of Honor is a statewide effort to show appreciation to adults who go above and beyond in terms of the time they devote to serving their communities. Any local organization can nominate someone who meets the criteria: town office, school, nonprofit or public agency. There is no cost to the nominator or person honored thanks to civic minded sponsors.

The Maine Volunteer Roll of Honor recognizes volunteers age 19 and older who meet the following criteria: devoted 500 hours or more of volunteer service to the community during the past 12 months (January through December preceding nomination deadline). Note charitable giving (i.e., participating in walkathons or other events to raise money) and court—ordered community service may not be counted.
service hours are documented by the program(s) or organization(s) with whom the volunteer served.
