President's Volunteer Service Award—Track Your Hours
<< Back to Volunteer Index Page
To earn a President's Service Award, individuals,
families, and groups must keep a record of volunteer activities and
hours served. Activities may be kept as a diary or calendar, but it's much more convenient to
track your hours online with the USA Freedom Corps'
Record of Service.
A Record of Service is a private journal of your volunteer time and experiences in response
to President Bush's call to service. You can keep a record of your activities serving your neighbor,
your community, your country and the world. Return as often as you'd like, to keep your record of
service updated online. To register and create your Record of Service, follow the easy steps below.
