The National Service Honor is a verified, prestigious award program modeled after the PVSA. It recognizes students, families, and individuals for their community service hours completed over a 12-month period—or across a lifetime.
Honoring Service at Every Level
The National Service Honor is modeled after the retired Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) and serves to fill the gap left behind. This national recognition is available to students, families, and individuals who complete impactful volunteer service either within a 12-month period or across a lifetime.
