President’s Volunteer Service Award

Posted by Youth Service America on December 15, 2014

As a Certifying Organization of the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD, Youth Service America awards the PVSA to those who meet or exceed the award criteria. Established in 2003, the PVSA is given by the President of the United States and honors individuals, families and groups who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service over the course of 12 months.

AWARD REQUIREMENTS
To qualify for the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD, volunteers simply submit a record of their service hours to Youth Service America, and we will verify the service and award the PVSA. Volunteer service hours are not limited to those performed as part of Youth Service America programs. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the necessary hours be completed within 12 months; recipients can qualify for a new PVSA each year.

HONOREES RECEIVE:

• An official President’s Volunteer Service Award lapel pin ($20 award package) or medallion ($23 award package).
• A personalized certificate of achievement
• A congratulatory letter from the President of the United States
• A customized press release
• Eligible to be recognized as a YSA Service Star
