President's Volunteer Service Award Peer Partners has a long proud history of volunteer service. Our volunteers are working to meet the needs of their neighborhoods and the community throughout the year. In recognition of these outstanding achievements, Peer Partners is proud to announce the availability of the President’s Volunteer Service Award, a prestigious national honor offered in recognition of volunteer commitment.
Award History: Established in 2003, this new Award is given by the President of the United States and honors individuals, families and groups who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service over the course of 12 months. “Peer Partners is extremely 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 Amanda Feldman, president of Peer Partners. “Volunteers strengthen America and inspire others to get involved. We are proud to honor our volunteers who are answering the call with this Award.”
Certifying Organization: As a Certifying Organization of the President’s Volunteer Service Award, Peer Partners can nominate potential recipients and distribute the Award to those who meet or exceed the Award criteria.
Who's Eligible: Children, adults, families and groups can receive the Award and, given their ongoing service activity, many of our volunteers may already meet the requirements listed below.
What Constitutes Eligible Service Hours? Volunteer service hours are not limited to those performed on behalf of Peer Partners. 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 within12 months; recipients can qualify for a new Award each year.
