Honoring Long Island's Volunteers
Welcome to the Long Island Volunteer Hall of Fame
Established in 2002 to honor volunteers whose efforts led to the founding of local nonprofit organizations, as well as outstanding lifetime achievers in volunteerism. We celebrate the giving spirit of Long Islanders who make our community a special place to live. While induction ceremonies were held in-person for 10 years at Bethpage State Park, we are moving toward a virtual platform. Stay tuned for details.
