The Utah Commission on Volunteers (COV) is an active Board of Commissioners (up to 25-members) appointed by the Lieutenant Governor to support volunteerism in Utah. The commission meets quarterly to direct and carry out the mission and objectives of the Utah Commission on Volunteers, and fulfill the statutory responsibilities for State Commissions under the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. Additionally, each Commissioner serves on one of 5 sub-committees Community Collaboration, Volunteer Recognition, Youth Voice, Evaluation, , and Resource Development, who meet monthly.
Each commission member serves no more than two, 3-year terms. Time spent as a commission member is completely voluntary. They function as "Ambassadors of Service" in their local communities to promote service and service opportunities.
