Volunteerism is woven into the fabric of our community and of United Way of Greater Topeka. It brings strength, color and texture to everything we do. When you and those around you serve, the impact goes beyond the agencies and individuals in our community, but it makes a better place for all to live when we work together. Ad Astra Honors will recognize community members who continually go above and beyond the call to support our neighbors in need. To be considered for this award, the candidate must meet the following:
Minimum Qualifications
