On October 11, 2006, President's Council on Service and Civic Participation member Janine Turner presented the President’s Volunteer Service Award to Gary Chapell at a President's Council event in Washington, DC. Chapell is a youth volunteer with KID POWER DC and specializes in working with senior citizens. He is always the first to ask how the seniors are doing and to offer help in anyway he can. He also helps lead projects and hand out food and supplies. He provides excellent entertainment for the seniors, but most of all, he truly connects with them. His compassion and friendliness help ensure that the entire KID POWER service project runs smoothly. The level of true friendships created between student and senior could not be possible with out his help.
