The America's SUPER Pageant has now been approved as a Certifying Organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award. We are proud to work in partnership with Point of Light and AmeriCorps to support volunteerism and civic engagement through this award. The efforts of our organization and volunteers inspire and provide hope to all of us, especially in times of greatest need.
Every day, we hear amazing stories of people, in every part of the country and around the globe, finding ways to help one another. That is why it is so important to say “thank you” to you and the volunteers who serve alongside you. Thank you for stepping up and giving back to others! These acts of service keep our communities strong, connect individuals, and provide critical support to the health and vitality of so many people.
If members of your organization are looking for volunteer opportunities they can do in the community or from their home, we encourage you to visit Points of Light's website or explore more ways to serve through AmeriCorps.
Thank you again for all that you do. For our volunteers, spreading seatbelt safety and volunteering, please share your volunteer stories with us by using #PVSA on social media, especially now when we all need a little inspiration. You’ll be added to our newsletter list and receive future communications about Points of Light events, our annual conference, program opportunities and announcements, and cutting-edge research.
