President's Volunteer Service Award

July 20, 2011

Dear Volunteer:

We are pleased to announce our participation in the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD program as a Certifying Organization.

This new AWARD is a Presidential honor that recognizes the valuable contributions of volunteers nationwide who are answering President Barak Obama’s call to serve others through their current volunteer activities or lifetime service. As a Certifying Organization, we will identify eligible recipients, verify their service hours, and distribute the AWARD to outstanding volunteers.

Today, we invite you to apply for this AWARD, if you meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the table below, by contacting Jonathan David Colon at (954) 262-7297 or volunteer@nova.edu.

For those volunteers who are looking for opportunities to be eligible for the AWARD, I encourage you to contact us at (954) 262-7297 or volunteer@nova.edu to sign up for additional volunteer projects available through our office. We have ongoing service projects as well as one-time community projects during Make A Difference Week, or National Volunteer Week. You can participate in these service projects by yourself, with family members, neighbors, or colleagues from work.

Additionally, eligible volunteer service hours are not limited to those performed on behalf of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the hours be completed within 12 months; recipients can qualify for a new AWARD each year.

To be eligible to receive the President's Volunteer Service Award, Applicants’ service hours must be confirmed by a registered Certifying Organization. There are three levels of the AWARD varying by hours of service completed within a 12-month period:
