| Throughout Utah, thousands of volunteers are helping to strengthen their communities everyday. The Governor’s Points of Light Award is aimed at recognizing just a few of the many volunteers helping to make Utah a better state, while promoting and inspiring further volunteer efforts. The Governor’s Points of Light Award is a weekly award presented quarterly to Utah residents who demonstrate exemplary volunteer service to their communities.

Recognition of youth volunteers is important!
- Recognition helps youth to feel good about what they have done.
- When youth feel good about their involvement they are more likely to stay motivated and involved.
- Recognizing youth allows them to strengthen their self-esteem.
- Recognition provides closure for projects.
So help a youth get recognized today!
