Who Doesn't Love a Pat on the Back (or a Palm Slap)?!
A "High Five!" is designed to recognize any volunteer, regardless of length of service, who has made contributions, both large and small, toward our mission.
This form of ongoing recognition is designed to boost morale and foster an optimal culture of gratitude and engagement. It's a genuine shout-out designed to be quick, easy, and fun to give.
Volunteers can recognize their fellow volunteers or volunteer supervisors and, supervisors and managers can recognize their team members.
Our Greater New York Region Volunteers who’ve received a “High Five!” are highlighted below.
