Hi,
I have found an organization to volunteer with, and everything has been planned out. I am currently in high school and would like to find out how to get the award. How do I start? How do I keep track of points? I hope someone can help me here!
Thank you!
Do you have an organization to certify that you did the hours? They will need to be lisenced (I believe) by the PVSA. My honor’s society does it for me. This will (most likely) not be the organization you are volunteering with. Maybe you could find a person/service online or at your school.
Have you made an account on the PVSA website? If not, that’ the first step. You can add service hours there. An award is determined by the amount of hours during a given calendar year; thus only the hours done in 2017 will count for your 2017 award.
Lastly, you will need to find your certifying organization to certify your hours. Then you can choose what award (pin, certificate, medal) you want and have it mailed to you.
Good luck!
