President’s Volunteer Service Award
Ca Care Association is proud to announce that we became a certifying organization that honors our dedicated volunteers with the President's Volunteer Service Award. This award is a testament to their commitment to making a positive difference in our community.
About the President’s Volunteer Service Award
In 2003, the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation founded the President’s Volunteer Service Award to recognize the important role of volunteers in America’s strength and national identity. This award honors individuals whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires those around them to take action, too.
The PVSA has continued under each administration, honoring the volunteers who are using their time and talents to solve some of the toughest challenges facing our nation.
