How to receive Presidential Volunteer Service Award?

I am almost at 100 hours (the required amount to receive gold for my age range), but do not know how to find a Certifying Organization. I have volunteered with multiple organizations but need one Certifying Organization to approve my hours and purchase the award itself. Is there one I can use available in the U.S. or Miami/South Florida?

Thank you! :slight_smile:

  1. I have service hours completed. How can I find a Certifying Organization to present me with the Award? We strongly recommend volunteers connect with a participating Certifying Organization to ensure the service they are providing is eligible to receive the Award. If the organization through which you volunteer is not yet a Certifying Organization, the process is simple and all instructions can be found here. All types of groups are signing up to become certifying organizations—from small local groups to national organizations. Ask your organization to join today!

We do not currently have a list of COs and LOs available to the public. We are working to develop a digital directory for organizations that have opted into participating and are looking for new volunteers; please check back for updates.
