Presidential Volunteer Service Award
|
The Yorba Linda Girl Scout Association is pleased to announce our participation in the President’s Service Award program as a Certifying Organization. The President’s Service Award recognizes individuals, families, and groups that have achieved a certain standard measured by the number of hours served over a 12-month period or cumulative hours earned over the course of a lifetime. To date, the President’s Council has bestowed more than 400,000 awards to the Nation’s deserving volunteers. Any individual can the receive the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for volunteer hours earned over a 12-month period or over the course of a lifetime at home or abroad. To earn a President's Volunteer Service Award, individuals must keep a record of their activities and hours of volunteer service. The service hours must be submitted to a Certifying Organization who certifies the hours and submits them to the Presential Award Committee. Yorba Linda Girl Scouts is a Certified Organization.
