USA Freedom Corps Acting Director Kathy Wills Wright presents Jay Goldman with the President’s Volunteer Service Award for volunteering more than 4,000 hours over the course of his lifetime. Jay has been serving others since the young age of 16. He has been involved in almost every aspect of volunteerism from speaking on behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation to walking in the New York AIDS walk ten times. He has shaved his head five times for the St. Baldricks Foundation and has been a Team Leader for the March of Dimes for 10 years. He served as volunteer Emergency Medical Technician in the Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps for more than five years and he still found time to work with the Special Olympics. In 2006, he volunteered for Cross-Cultural Solutions and spent two weeks in Brazil. On top of all of this, Jay recently launched the Youth Empowerment Company in an attempt to “educate, inspire, and empower today's youth to become the leaders of tomorrow”. Jay says he “trusts that belief, passion, and dedication of one person can move mountains and change landscapes.”
