“Springboard Training is proud to join the President of the United States in recognizing the volunteers who consistently take the time to make a difference in the lives of others,” said Sylvia Henderson, CEO of Springboard Training and an active volunteer with the Girl Scouts of the USA herself. “Volunteers strengthen America and inspire others to get involved. We are proud to honor our volunteers who are answering the call with this Award.”
Children, adults, families and groups can receive the Award with ongoing service activity. To qualify for the President’s Volunteer Service Award, volunteers simply submit a record of their service hours to Springboard Training, and we will verify the service and deliver the Award.
Volunteer service hours are not limited to those performed on behalf of our organization. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the necessary hours be completed within 12 months. Recipients can qualify for a new Award each year.
“Volunteers should strive to earn the President’s Volunteer Service Award every year,” says Henderson. “Even if you’ve never volunteered before, the Award is within your reach. The strength and success of our nation depends on each of us taking an active role in the communities where we live and do business. Help strengthen America by asking your friends, families and neighbors to join you in helping your communities. Most people say ‘yes’ if asked to volunteer as a personal request.”
The President’s Volunteer Service Award is issued by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation – created to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers make to our nation. To learn more and find out how to qualify for the Award, visit www.PresidentialServiceAwards.gov.
