Richmond VA – Governor Glenn Youngkin recognized eleven Virginians and organizations for their outstanding contributions to service and community at the 2025 Governor’s Volunteerism & Community Service Awards, held yesterday at the Executive Mansion. The annual program honors those whose dedication and leadership are making a measurable difference in strengthening communities and improving lives across the Commonwealth.
TAP’s VITA Tax Clinic Volunteers were honored with the Independent Group award. As certified volunteers, they provide free, high-quality tax preparation and financial guidance to low- and moderate-income individuals across 11 localities. The clinic returns an estimated $550,000 annually to the local economy, and empowers clients in the process. Through innovation, community trust, and dedicated volunteer leadership, TAP’s VITA Clinic sustains a long-term impact—transforming lives, strengthening communities, and serving as a regional model for accessible, service-driven financial empowerment. The TAP Tax Clinic is headed by Teffany Henderson.
