ABOUT THE AWARD
At Resile One, we never miss an opportunity to spotlight Change makers for their extraordinary civic engagement.

The award honors this tradition and thanks those who inspire others to engage in volunteer service by a proven commitment and example.

RECIPIENTS
The Resile One Foundation is proud to celebrate educators this holiday season. Educators play a pivotal role in shaping our communities and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. Their dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence create a lasting impact on future generations.
CRITERIA & ELIGIBILITY
Our Resile One Foundation Team has a deep passion for random acts of kindness and community service. With the recent national decline of volunteer participation, we feel it is vital to recognize individuals who answer the call to community action even in the face of overwhelming need and circumstances.
​
A U.S. Census Bureau and AmeriCorps survey found that formal volunteer participation dropped 7 percentage points from 2019 to 2021, the largest decrease since the survey began in 2002.
​
The Dallas Metro Area has a formal volunteering rate of 18.8%.
​
The decline in volunteers has impacted local nonprofits. For example, one local Food Bank experienced a 50% cancellation rate in expected volunteers during the Omicron surge.
