Established in 2003 by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, the President’s Volunteer Service Award honors individuals who demonstrate a strong commitment to volunteerism over 12 months or across a lifetime. The award celebrates the positive impact of volunteers and encourages others to follow their lead in strengthening communities across the United States.
