The Huntington Museum of Art has named Huntington High School student London Donahoe as its Volunteer of the Year for Fiscal Year 2025.
The Volunteer of the Year is chosen by the Museum’s staff through a vote. Staff members seek to award volunteers who regularly go above and beyond and work continuously to uphold the Museum’s three-prong mission of art, education, and nature.
“London has generously given 132 hours of his time this past year to the Huntington Museum of Art,” said Mollie Ashworth, HMA Director of Guest Services and Museum Store Manager. “Whether he’s greeting visitors with a smile, helping with events such Hilltop or the Museum Ball, or supporting our behind-the-scenes work, London shows up ready to give his all every time.”
At Huntington High School, London is a member of both the National Honor Society and Math Honor Society. He also serves as the Vice President of Leadership for the Huntington High School Future Business Leaders of America and was recently selected as a page for the West Virginia House of Delegates.
“At only 16 years old, London has already distinguished himself on both local and national stages – advocating for mental health of our nation’s youth as a member of the Youth Advisory Board for Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation, leading environmental action as the coordinator of West Virginia’s first Sunrise Movement Hub, and championing financial literacy in West Virginia’s youth through the Future Finance Leaders Initiative, a program that he also helped co-found,” Ashworth said. “His drive to inform and uplift his peers is matched only by his push to create lasting change.”
