The 2023 Mentorship and Volunteerism Excellence Awards Finalists have been announced, and we couldn't be happier!
The prestigious Mentorship and Volunteerism Excellence Awards honor people, groups, and organizations based on the mentoring and volunteerism spirit they have shown by being actively involved in and making contributions to their communities, nations, and continents.
The platform charges companies of all sizes to allow their employees to mentor for brief times during the workday, providing young people with positive role models, arming startups, NGOs, and social enterprises with necessary knowledge and expertise, and giving employees a chance to give back to society.
The 4th edition of this conference, to be held on Saturday, July 29, at the Holidayinn hotel in Accra, Ghana, has as its topic utilizing technology to promote volunteerism and mentorship as the key to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.
These Awards have honored some incredibly remarkable people over the previous few years. They highlight the outstanding accomplishments of those people and organizations that go above and beyond to provide selfless acts of assistance to people in a variety of capacities and circumstances with the goal of bringing about positive change to individuals and communities that ultimately has an impact on national and global development.
Particularly this year, there were an abundance of excellent nominations that the judges had to choose from. They labored assiduously to narrow down the shortlist with enthusiasm, determination, and much of impassioned discussion.
