Thank you for your interest in the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA). This award program recognizes exceptional volunteers whose work makes real and sustainable differences in their communities. If you are interested in earning a PVSA, you must do so through a Certifying Organization (CO). Be sure to check in with the organizations you volunteer with to see if they are certified to administer PVSAs. If so, you can use this sample spreadsheet to track your hours for a PVSA award. If your organization is not certified, it is an easy process to begin. Have your organization visit the Eligibility page to learn more. If you'd like to send your organization an email explaining the program and why it should become a CO, you can use this template.
To be sure you qualify as a PVSA volunteer, read about PVSA Volunteer Eligibility. You can also visit the Learning Center for additional resources.
