President's Volunteer Service Award
& Sanderson Volunteer Service Award
The President's Volunteer Service Award is issued by the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation on behalf of the President of the United States to recognize the best in American Spirit, and to encourage all Americans to improve their communities through volunteer service and civic participation. Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community while learning from different experiences. Some colleges now require volunteer hours or heavily consider them on entrance applications.

Awards are based on the number of volunteer hours listed below:
