Established in 2003, the PVSA gives Presidential recognition to U.S. citizens who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service each year. This achievement is a way to inspire others to contribute to their communities through volunteer service and to make volunteer service a central part of their lives. The PVSA is issued by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, a group created by President George W. Bush to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers make to our Nation. This year the Council is Chaired by two-time Super Bowl Champion Darrell Green, and former U.S. Senators Bob Dole and John Glenn as honorary co-chairs. The Council is composed of leaders in government, media, education, entertainment, business, nonprofit and volunteer service organizations, in addition to individual community volunteers.
AT&T is a Certifying Organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award and is responsible for verifying AT&T employee service hours, nominating potential recipients and delivering the Award.
To be eligible to receive the award, AT&T submits a record of employees’ annual volunteer service hours to be verified and considered eligible for the award. AT&T employees are eligible after 100 hours of annual volunteer work.
