Thykidz, Inc. is proud to announce
the availability of the President’s Volunteer Service Award, a prestigious
national honor offered in recognition of volunteer commitment. Established in
2003, this new Award is given by the President of the United States and honors
individuals, families and groups who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service over the course of 12 months.
Thykidz, Inc. has teamed with hundreds
of organizations and businesses across the country to deliver this Award to our most outstanding volunteers. As a Certifying Organization of the President’s Volunteer
Service Award, we can nominate potential recipients and distribute the Award to those who meet or exceed the Award criteria.
Children, adults, families and groups
can receive the Award and, given their ongoing service activity, many of our
volunteers may already meet the requirements (see below). To qualify for the
President’s Volunteer Service Award, volunteers simply submit a record
of their service hours to Thykidz, Inc., and we will verify the service and deliver the Award.
Volunteer service hours are not
limited to those performed on behalf of Thykidz, Inc. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety
of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the necessary hours
be completed within12 months; recipients can qualify for a new Award each year.
Even if you’ve never volunteered
before, the Award is within your reach.
In fact, the strength and success of our nation depends on every one of us taking an active role in the community where
we live. You can also help strengthen America by asking your friends, families
and neighbors to join you in helping your community. Most people say ‘yes’
if asked to volunteer – all it takes is a personal request.
The President’s
Volunteer Service Award is issued by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation – created
by President George W. Bush to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers make to our nation. To learn more and find out how to qualify for the Award,
