Awards & Recognition
We believe every act of service deserves to be recognized. Volunteenz offers opportunities for volunteers to earn official awards for their time and impact, perfect for your resume, college apps, or just to celebrate your hard work!
Presidential Volunteer Service Award
The PVSA is a national program that recognizes individuals, families, and groups who have made a significant contribution to their communities through volunteer service. The award is based on the number of volunteer hours completed within 12 months or over a lifetime. PVSA offers various levels of recognition (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the Lifetime Achievement Award) based on the number of hours served.
