Spirit of Volunteerism Awards

Recognize Outstanding Community Volunteers

What are the Spirit of Volunteerism Awards?

Each year, the Spirit of Volunteerism Awards (SOV) brings together nonprofits, businesses, and community members to celebrate individuals who go above and beyond in service to Orange County.

This signature event honors the impact of volunteers who strengthen our community through their dedication, compassion, and leadership. In 2026, OneOC proudly marks 50 years of honoring the region’s most dedicated volunteers, and tickets are now available for this historic celebration.

Tickets are $100 for nonprofit organizations and $150 for companies.

Nominations are now open for our next class of honorees. This is your opportunity to recognize individuals who truly embody the spirit of service. Join us for the 50th Anniversary Spirit of Volunteerism Awards as we celebrate the heart of our community and the volunteers who inspire us all.
