The KAPA WHS is proud to be an official Certifying Organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA). This nationally recognized award celebrates the impact that individuals can make in bettering our communities and our world. As a Certifying Organization, KAPA WHS will review, verify and deliver one of the nation’s highest honors.  

Students can volunteer for a wide range of other projects and services outside of KAPA WHS, but they must be in our KAPA WHS Youth Volunteer Member program or the Non-Formal Volunteer Member program.

We encourage all volunteers to create an account and begin tracking your service hours.
  1. Log your hours by creating a profile on the President’s Volunteer Service Award Verification form
  2. Keep track of your hours by downloading this Log form
  3. We certify all hours only once a year – once on May 31st.

Once your forms and logs are completed, the KAPA WHS will certify your hours and nominate you for your award.  Additionally, the President’s Volunteer Service Award recipients will be recognized during our Annual End Semester ceremony. Hours are measured over a 12-month period and awards are designated based on cumulative hours. The awards are offered in multiple levels and are designed to recognize each milestone of your service achievement. Levels include bronze, silver, gold and the highest honor, the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for those who contribute more than 4,000 hours of service in their lifetime. Your recognition inspires others to take positive action to change the world!
