 Not
only is volunteering fun and rewarding, but you can earn
a great award!
President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, which is chaired by Washington Redskins
legend
Darrell Green, and co-chaired by former Senators
Bob Dole and
John Glenn, at the President’s direction, created
the President’s Volunteer Service Award to recognize
people of all ages who are dedicated to helping others.
Those who earn the Award will receive an official
President’s Volunteer Service Award pin, a personalized
certificate of achievement, a note of congratulations
from the President of the United States, and a letter
from the President’s Council on Service and Civic
Participation.
Kids under 14 years old can earn the Award by completing
50 or more hours of volunteer service in one year. And,
the sooner you get started, the sooner you will qualify
for the Call to Service Award, available to those who
dedicate at least 4,000 hours over the course of their
lifetimes to volunteer service.
Ask your parent, guardian, or teacher to help you keep track of your
volunteer hours using our
Record of Service Page
(PDF), and get started now!
