President’s Volunteer Service Award
America has a long and proud tradition of volunteer service. The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes the valuable contributions volunteers make in our communities and encourages more people to serve. The award honors this American tradition and thanks those who inspire others to engage in volunteer service by demonstrated commitment and example.
The award recognizes individuals, families, and groups who achieve a certain number of service hours within a 12-month period. The award also can be given for cumulative hours earned over the course of a lifetime. A special President's Call to Service Award recognizes the lifetimes achievement of those who complete more than 4,000 hours of service throughout their lifetime.
