Volunteer Hall of Fame

The City of Lenexa recognizes individual citizens who have made significant contributions to the community through their outstanding volunteer efforts. We look for those special people who stand head and shoulders above the rest — people who have used their time and energy to make a difference in our community. Exceptional volunteers are initiated into the Lenexa Volunteer Hall of Fame.
