Each April, we host our Annual Darien Volunteer Celebration, a tradition that honors Darien’s volunteers. The free event invites community members, nonprofit partners, donors, and volunteers for an evening of appreciation, thanking and recognizing those whose time and talent make a lasting impact on our community.
Each year, we invite community organizations and individuals to nominate outstanding Darien resident volunteers for one of several award categories. Nominations are open to all and are accepted each spring. Each organization or individual may submit one nomination. Nominees must be Darien residents who have made a meaningful contribution during the past year and who have not previously been recognized for the same volunteer project.
Nominees are evaluated on their action, commitment, and time. All nominees and nominators are notified by email in late March, and award recipients are celebrated at the Celebration in April. This year, the Darien Volunteer Celebration will take place on Thursday, April 23 from 5:30 - 7:00 PM at The Meadowlands at The DCA.
