Hundreds of Mt. Lebanon residents volunteer their time each year, giving back to the community in ways that make a real difference in the quality of life here and throughout our region. Each year, the Mt. Lebanon Civic Engagement Board spotlights a resident who represents the community’s strong volunteer spirit with the Mt. Lebanon Community Service Award.
Residents are invited to submit nominations for the 2026 award, which will honor a resident whose volunteer efforts demonstrate creativity, vision, leadership and citizenship by providing service to programs and activities that positively impact the welfare of the Mt. Lebanon community. The Civic Engagement Board will present the award in cooperation with Mt. Lebanon Magazine. This year’s winner will be selected by a Civic Engagement Board subcommittee and approved by the entire board. The winner will then be honored at the boards and authorities dinner this Spring. The selection criteria for the Mt. Lebanon Community Service Award are:
- Making a significant contribution to the community in a volunteer service capacity.
- Participating in humanitarian activities that make a difference in the well-being of others.
- Striving to improve and preserve the community.
- Candidate is an inspirational role model for the Mt. Lebanon community.
One nomination is enough for a volunteer to be considered. Multiple applications will not increase a nominee’s chance of winning. Mt. Lebanon elected officials, municipal staff members and current members of the Civic Engagement Board are not eligible to participate. Deadline for nominations is Monday, January 26, 2026. Fill out a nomination form at mtlebanon.org/communityserviceaward [1].
