NAR Announces 2021 Volunteering Works Mentoring Recipients

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and the Good Neighbor Society have announced the recipients of the 13th annual Volunteering Works grants and mentoring program. The program awards funding to REALTORS® who work on small-scale charitable efforts while matching them with mentors in their field.

The five Volunteering Works recipients will receive a $1,000 seed grant and a year of one-on-one mentoring from a member of the Good Neighbor Society. This group is made up of past recipients of NAR’s annual Good Neighbor Awards, the highest honor the association awards to REALTORS® involved in community service.

“Amid the changes and challenges that have been introduced into all our lives over the past year, these amazing recipients have continued to step forward in ways that leave a lasting, positive mark on our world,” said NAR President Charlie Oppler. “I am so proud to support these volunteers and their important work, which illustrates the commitment REALTORS® make to their neighbors and neighborhoods.”

Volunteering Works recipients were selected based on their devotion to their communities through volunteer endeavors and the potential for their good works to be expanded or improved upon with the help of an expert mentor.
