PVSA Information

The President’s Volunteer Service Award is the premier volunteer awards program, encouraging United States citizens or lawfully admitted permanent residents of the United States through presidential recognition to live a life of service.

HappyFeet Dance Company is an official certifying organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award. We will create individual accounts to record and verify the volunteer hours logged by our dance company members.

All dance company members will be provided a log to document their personal volunteer hours. All volunteer service hours must be supported by a log, signed by a site supervisor. The log should include dates, hours, signature of the supervisor, and contact information for that supervisor. These logs should be submitted to HappyFeet Dance Company after volunteers complete their service.
