n4a administers the MetLife Foundation Older Volunteers Enrich America Awards (OVEA) Program to honor both older volunteers and older volunteer programs that make our communities better places to live.

Older Volunteers Enrich America Volunteers Awards

This OVEA recognition honors the exemplary contributions of older volunteers in three categories: Community Champion for older volunteers who make their communities a better place to live; Mentor for older volunteers who work with young people and their families; and Team Spirit for older volunteers who help other older adults.

Older Volunteers Enrich America Program Awards

This OVEA recognition honors the outstanding recruitment, training, and management strategies used by effective volunteer programs. The most promising practices receive awards, and information about their operation is compiled into a resource for other agencies and programs interested in maximizing the services of older volunteers.
