What is the President's Volunteer Service Award?

PVSA is a program to honor individuals who impact communities positively. It was founded in 2003 by the US President's Council. Led by Americorps and managed in partnership by Points of Light, this program allows Certifying Organizations to recognize voulnteers.

CKB has been a Certifying Organization since 2021. We are proud to inform that 7 of our volunteers received this award in 2021.

We encourage members to sign up for volunteering and win this prestigious award.
