THE PRESIDENT'S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD
The President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) is the premier volunteer awards program, encouraging citizens to live a life of service through presidential gratitude and national recognition.
We encourage you to take a look around, be inspired and take positive action that changes the world
The
AWARD
Presidential recognition sets you apart from your peers. It is a tremendous honor. Even though you may not seek recognition, your example can deliver a powerful message that encourages others to take action.
The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes United States citizens and lawfully admitted, permanent residents of the United States who have achieved the required number of hours of service over a 12-month time period or cumulative hours over the course of a lifetime.
​
Along with the ultimate honor of presidential recognition, recipients will receive a personalized certificate, an official pin, medallion or coin and a congratulatory letter from the president of the United States.
The
CRITERIA
Individuals, families and groups that meet the criteria are eligible for the PVSA.
Recipient(s) must be a United States citizen or a lawfully admitted permanent resident of the United States.
Awards are issued for service hours served within a 12-month time period or over the course of a lifetime.
Awards are issued for volunteer service only; additional levels of participation with the organization (i.e., charitable support) are not a factor considered for the award.
Court-ordered community service does not qualify for the award.
Awards are issued by approved Certifying Organizations.
Service must be with an approved Certifying Organization that is legally established in the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or one of the U.S. territories.
How To
QUALIFY
Hours are measured over a 12-month period and awards are designated based on cumulative hours. The awards are offered in multiple levels and are designed to recognize each milestone of your service achievement. Levels include bronze, silver, gold and the highest honor, the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for those who contribute more than 4,000 hours of service in their lifetime.
ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD
The President’s Volunteer Service Award works with Certifying Organizations to recognize America’s most committed volunteers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the value of volunteer time to be $23.56 per hour, and through their service, Americans invest billions in their local communities—to say nothing of the immeasurable impact volunteers have on others and the character of their communities.
​
To thank the volunteers making the biggest impact, we partner with Certifying Organizations to provide Presidential honors for deeply invested volunteers. These are the Americans who find time in their busy lives to make giving back a priority and for whom a very special thanks is in order.
​
Per the program rules, we can only recognize volunteers meeting certain criteria with a President’s Volunteer Service Award, but we realize there’s a variety of people making a difference every day. Read more about participation criteria below.
The first step in getting a President’s Volunteer Service Award is to connect with an active Certifying Organization. Per our Terms and Conditions, only authorized representatives of Certifying Organizations (which Xi-Pi is) may pay for and order President’s Volunteer Service Award pieces to recognize volunteers.
