The Presidential Service Award

PSAThe President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation (the President’s Council) was established in 2003 to recognize volunteers' valuable contributions to our communities and encourage more people to serve.

The President’s Council created the President’s Volunteer Service Award program to thank and honor Americans who inspire others to engage in volunteer service through their demonstrated commitment and example. We are honored to have been accepted in 2014 as a Certified Organization for the program and proud to have had awarded 217 awards since then.

Our recording period for Volunteer Southlake is April 1st - March 31st. Volunteers interested in earning and receiving a Presidential Volunteer Service Award must meet the following criteria. You can also learn more using the Presidential Award Information Sheet.
