President's Volunteer Service Awards Program

When you help your neighbor, you're helping your nation

What is the "President's Volunteer Service Award"?

Americans of all ages are answering the President’s Call to Service by volunteering and making a difference in their communities.  The President’s Volunteer Service Award, an initiative of the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, honors America’s volunteers and encourages even more Americans to get involved.  DOE has become a Certifying Organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award, enabling us to directly grant President’s Awards for the community service efforts of DOE employees, contractors, and members of the general public.

The award is available to individuals of all ages, as well as families and groups who have achieved a certain standard – measured by the number of hours served over a 12-month period or cumulative hours earned over the course of a lifetime.  The awards honor those Americans who have made serving a central part of their lives.

What will I receive?

Depending on which award package is ordered, award recipients can receive:

• An official President’s Volunteer Service Award lapel pin
• A personalized certificate of achievement
• A congratulatory letter from the President of the United States
• A letter from the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation
