19th Annual Joseph C. Cirelli Community Service Award

Every day, incredible volunteers are changing lives in Southwestern Pennsylvania. These dedicated individuals strengthen our communities in meaningful ways, from mentoring children to feeding local families. Now's your chance to recognize one of them.

If you know an exceptional volunteer at a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, nominate them for Clearview's 19th annual Joseph C. Cirelli Community Service Award! The winner will get to choose a charity who will receive a $5,000 award in recognition of their outstanding volunteer efforts.

Who's eligible?

We're looking for volunteers whose dedication and passion bring real change to their nonprofit organizations. To qualify, they must:

  • Volunteer at a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
  • Have contributed a minimum of 50 hours of service to the organization within the past 12 months.
  • Have been actively engaged with the organization for more than one year.
  • Be 13 years of age or older at the time of nomination.
  • Demonstrate exceptional impact and alignment to the organization's mission.

A few more details:

  • Anyone can apply! You do not have to be a Clearview member to nominate or be nominated.
  • Organizations may only win the award once; however, volunteers may qualify again as long as they're nominated for volunteer work with another organization.
