Yankee Homecoming (YHC) is seeking nominations from the greater Newburyport community for the 2025 Volunteer of the Year Awards. Each year, YHC honors individuals who have made a meaningful impact by selflessly dedicating their time, effort, and energy to local community organizations, government entities, and nonprofit groups.

This year’s YHC theme, “Tides of Time: Preserving the Past, Charting the Future.”,  honors the origins of Yankee Homecoming, which began 66 years ago, and the rich heritage of Newburyport that we celebrate annually. It embodies the community’s enduring spirit of growth and change, made possible by the dedication of volunteers who help shape its future.

Nominations may be submitted by individuals or organizations through the application below. There are no age restrictions. The deadline for submissions is June 15, 2025.

Recipients of the 2025 Generation of Giving Awards will be honored at a special ceremony on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at the Newburyport Council on Aging Community Center, sponsored by Atria Senior Living.
