Help us recognize the people and organizations who make Aurora shine. The city of Aurora is now accepting nominations for the annual Community Spirit Awards, honoring volunteers, nonprofits and businesses that go above and beyond to make our community stronger. These awards recognize exceptional leadership, dedication and the power of giving back.
Awards are presented in several categories, including:
The Aurora Volunteer Committee, made up of city employees, reviews all nominations and selects recipients based on the impact of their service to the community rather than the number of nominations submitted. More than one individual or organization may be recognized in each category. Award recipients will be honored at the annual Community Spirit Awards ceremony.
In 2025, the city recognized 27 volunteers, six nonprofits and four businesses with Community Spirit Awards.
Learn more about Community Spirit Awards and submit a nomination at AuroraGov.org/CommunitySpiritAwards by 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 30. You can also check out the latest volunteer opportunities at AuroraGov.org/Volunteer.
