President's Volunteer Service Award


  
 
Certifying Organization
       
 

Thank you for your interest in becoming a "Certifying Organization" for the President's Volunteer Service Awards. This will offer the opportunity to recognize your volunteers for their dedication and support.

Your organization can do so by becoming a Certifying Organization. Your organization qualifies to be a Certifying Organization and distribute the President's Volunteer Service Award if it is legally established in the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or one of the U.S. territories.

To earn a President's Volunteer Service Award, individuals, families and groups must keep a record of their activities and hours of volunteer service. They can track their hours in a journal at home, on-line through the USA Freedom Corps Record of Service, or through another system that is recommended by their Certifying Organization. Each individual, family, or group then submits its record of service to the Certifying Organization.
