What is it?
The President's Volunteer Service Award is a prestigious national award given to volunteers who perform an outstanding amount of service hours within a 12-month time period.
How to Earn it:
Depending on your age, there are different hour requirements to earn the President's Volunteer Service Award. Refer to the table below:
* We do not offer the Lifetime Achievement Award
The age group you will be considered in is the age you are when you turn in your volunteer hours. If you wish to turn your hours in early in order to be considered in a younger age group, that is fine. Hours may not be turned in after the May 15th deadline.
Activities that DO NOT COUNT towards your hour requirement for the PVSA:
1. Donating funds
2. Political lobbying (Non-partisan voter registration is an eligible activity)
3. Religious instruction
4. Conducting worship service
5. Proselytizing
6. Volunteer service performed as part of court-ordered community service
7. Serving only family members
