Kitsap County celebrates and honors volunteers during Volunteer Appreciation Week April 20-26

The Board of County Commissioners has officially proclaimed April 20–26, 2025, as *Kitsap County Volunteer Appreciation Week*, recognizing the remarkable contributions of nearly 7,000 volunteers who generously give their time, talent, and voices to support county programs and services each year.

In 2024 alone, volunteers contributed an incredible *150,000 hours* across a wide range of departments and initiatives—supporting residents, protecting and improving natural environments, and building stronger, safer, and more connected communities.

Kitsap County’s observance aligns with National Volunteer Week, and we are proud to join in celebrating the *impact, dedication, and transformative power* of volunteerism.

Volunteers are the heart of community service, involved in nearly every aspect of county government. Their work fosters civic engagement, inspires others to take action, and brings awareness to local needs. Through shared purpose and collective effort, they help strengthen community ties and enhance the county’s resilience and resources.

In addition to service work, many volunteers act as community ambassadors—engaging the public in county planning, policy development, and funding priorities. Volunteerism empowers individuals to find purpose, channel their passion, and create lasting, meaningful change.

We are deeply grateful for our volunteers’ selfless generosity and unwavering commitment. Their efforts make Kitsap County a better place to live, work, and play.

*Thank you, volunteers!* You help our communities thrive.
