“I didn’t mind helping out,” said Brian Connolly, a local 8th grader. “The time goes by real fast working on different projects.” Connolly, who logged over 150 volunteer hours last summer, participated in KVPAC’s Young Artists Learning Leadership (Y.A.L.L.) Program. This specially designed student volunteer opportunity is open to all, ages 13 and above, each summer.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award was established in 2003, by President George W. Bush to give Presidential recognition to individuals, families and groups who meet requirements for volunteer service, measured by the number of service hours performed over 12-months. These hours include all service hours given to any organization. The award was created to help foster and encourage a culture of volunteer service and civic participation among Americans.

Individuals must log their hours on the national website. Awards are determined by age and hours of service. It is our hope, that as a verifying organization for this National Award, we can encourage others to become volunteers, especially for KVPAC.
