About the President's Volunteer Service Award
In 2003, the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation founded the President’s Volunteer Service Award to recognize the important role of volunteers in America’s strength and national identity. This award honors individuals whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires those around them to take action, too.
The PVSA has continued under each administration, honoring the volunteers who are using their time and talents to solve some of the toughest challenges facing our nation.
Led by the AmeriCorps and managed in partnership with Points of Light, this program allows Certifying Organizations to recognize their most exceptional volunteers.

What Are the Benefits of the Award?
The Presidential Volunteer Service Award is a prestigious national honor that highlights your commitment to serving the community and the nation. This award not only improves your resume (for college transfers and future job applications) but also allows you to inspire others to follow in your footsteps – to contribute to their communities through volunteer service and to make volunteer service a central part of their lives.
The time you spend volunteering to earn the award will enrich your life with the experience of serving people in need. God promises abundant rewards for those who sacrifice their time, talent, and treasure to build the lives of others. You cannot out give God and when you invest your life in serving others, God promises to return your blessing "pressed down, shaken together, and running over" in the ways He knows will add the most value to your life.
