Recognizing and honoring volunteers sets a standard for service to others. It encourages a sustained commitment to civic participation and inspires others to make volunteering a central part of their lives. The President's Volunteer Service Award recognizes individuals, families, and groups that 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.
You can track your volunteer hours through the Volunteer Center office or use the PVSA website: https://www.presidentialserviceawards.gov/tgact/ros/dspROSlogin.cfm
