The President Volunteer Service Awards (PVSA ) is an initiative of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and is administered by Points of Light. With a shared mission of inspiring more to answer the call to service, PVSA celebrates the impact we can all make in bettering our communities and our world.
Presidential recognition sets the
volunteer/service learner apart from peers. It is a tremendous honor. Even
though servant leaders may not seek recognition, their example can deliver a
powerful message that encourages others to take action.
In the high school, along with the ultimate honor of
presidential recognition, recipients receive an official pin, medallion or coin, and
a congratulatory letter from the President of the United States.
The Casady service learning office orders awards for eligible MD and UD students. The service year is from April 1-March 31; the deadline for service entries is March 31 annually. MD service hours must be submitted via a handwritten service log form. UD service hours are tracked on MobileServe. External digitalized tracking systems are permissible; therefore, Casady will no longer be tracking hours on the Presidential Volunteer Service Award website. Awards are delivered in a special recognition Chapel service in the fall.
