We are pleased to announce to all our volunteers that VT Seva Organization is now recognized as an "Official Certifying Organization for the President's Volunteer Service Awards Program" by the President's Call to Service Award government organization.

This new Award is a Presidential honor that recognizes the valuable contributions of volunteers nationwide who are answering President’s call to serve others through their current volunteer activities or lifetime service. As a Certifying Organization, we will identify eligible recipients, verify their service hours, and distribute the Award to outstanding volunteers.

Today, we invite you to apply for this Award, if you meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the table below, by contacting president@vtsworld.org or secretary@vtsworld.org. We encourage VT Seva volunteers to register at https://www.presidentialserviceawards.gov/tgact/login/dspLoginAll.cfm and enter Record of Service Key ZGF-44911to have VT Seva as your Certifying Organization.

Given your ongoing service activities, many of you may already meet the requirements to receive the Award. To qualify, volunteers simply submit a record of their service hours to VT Seva, and we verify the service and distribute the Award.   

For those volunteers who haven’t accumulated enough hours of service to be eligible for the Award, I encourage you to contact us at president@vtsworld.org or secretary@vtsworld.org to sign up for additional volunteer projects available through our organization.  We have ongoing service projects as well as one-time community projects during Earth Day, Cancer Day and Blind Awareness Day. You can participate in these service projects by yourself, with family members, neighbors, or colleagues from work. 

Additionally, eligible volunteer service hours are not limited to those performed on behalf of VT Seva. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the hours be completed within 12 months; recipients can qualify for a new Award each year. Volunteer hours have to be submitted by the end of the year ( Dec 31st). Please get your hours certified by the local VT Seva branch director before submission.
