The President's Volunteer Service Award

GivingPoint is honored to be a registered certifying organization for The President’s Volunteer Service Award. This prestigious national award recognizes Americans who are making a difference in the lives of others through volunteer service.

 

The President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) has been incorporated into GivingPoint’s Award System and is now available for participating GivingPoint students who complete the designated service hours within a 12 month period.

 

The President’s Volunteer Service Award gives Presidential recognition to students who have made a sustained commitment to volunteer service; and through GivingPoint’s on-line tracking system, it is easy!

 

What are the requirements?

When you complete 250 or more hours of service, you are eligible for a GOLD level President's Volunteer Service Award! Service hours must be completed within a 12 month period and should be recorded using GivingPoint’s on-line point tracking tool.

 

Though the President's Volunteer Service Reward recognition begins at 100 hours of service, due to administrative limitations, GivingPoint will only order your awards after 250 hours of service.  GivingPoint will pay for the complete package, which costs $3.00 per application plus shipping and handling. To do this, GivingPoint needs your home address.  Once you reach 250 hours of service, we will contact you via email to get your home address.

 

What are considered service hours?

Service hours are hours spent on the planning and implementation of any activity beneficial to the community. Teens must log in their time and talent contributions in order to start earning enough points to be eligible.

 

 What is the Cost of the Award?

A complete package is $3.00 per application plus shipping and handling. GivingPoint will cover this cost for each teen that reaches the President's Gold Level of 250 or more service hours!

 

Awarded recipients receive:

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