President's Volunteer Service Awards

The President's Volunteer Service Awards are a great way to promote volunteerism in your organization or schools. Use this award as a way to recognize youth volunteers and adult volunteers who have done exemplary volunteer work. It's easy, it shows volunteers that they are a part of a broad volunteer movement, and it's exciting to reward folks for good work!
