Presidential Volunteer Service Award program
We are pleased to announce our participation in the President’s Volunteer Service Award program as a Certifying Organization. This new Award is a Presidential honor that recognizes the valuable contributions of volunteers nationwide who are answering President Barack Obama’s call to serve others through their current volunteer activities or lifetime service. As a Certifying Organization, we will identify eligible recipients, verify their service hours, and distribute the Award to outstanding volunteers. Certificates are signed by the current President of the United States. Today, we invite you to apply for this Award, if you meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the table below. Each volunteer will need to log in their own hours on the website. Once you log in, go to My Service and Create New Record to record your hours. You can record individual or recurring hours here. All hours are accumulated on a calendar year. If you have any questions, contact . Given your ongoing service activities, many of you may already meet the requirements to receive the Award. To qualify, volunteers create a login name and password and simply submit a record of their service hours online here, and we verify the service and distribute the Award. You must register with KVPAC's ROS key on the PVSA website.
NOTE: The ROS key for KVPAC is RQW-34371 and must be listed under "My Profile" to receive KVPAC credit.
Awards will be verified by March 1st of the following year. Certificates and pins will be ordered at this time. Volunteers may be asked to contribute $4 for the purchase price of their pins and certificates if funding is not available. The levels of achievement are Bronze, Silver, and Gold and are based on hours served in relation to age. Adult volunteers and student volunteers are both welcome! For those volunteers who haven’t accumulated enough hours of service to be eligible for the Award, I encourage you to contact us at 281-829-2787 to sign up for additional volunteer projects available through our organization. We have ongoing service projects as well as one-time commitments. You can participate in these opportunities by yourself, with family members, neighbors, or colleagues from work. Additionally, eligible volunteer service hours are not limited to those performed on behalf of KVPAC. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the hours be completed within 12 months; recipients can qualify for a new Award each year. Log in all of your volunteer hours completed everywhere. To be eligible to receive the President’s Volunteer Service Award, applicants’ service hours must be confirmed by a registered Certifying Organization. There are three levels of the Award varying by hours of service completed within a 12-month period: Kids - 14 and younger
Young Adults - Ages 15 - 25
Adults - Ages 26 and up
Families and Groups (two or more people)*
*Each member contributing at least 25 hours towards the total President’s Call to Service Award Individuals who have completed 4,000 or more volunteer service hours over the course of their lifetime are eligible to receive the President’s Call to Service Award. |
