As a Certifying Organization of the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD, Telugu Association of Greater Chicago (www.TAGC.org) awards the PVSA to those who meet or exceed the award criteria. Established in 2003, the PVSA is given by the President of the United States and honors individuals, families and groups who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service over the course of 12 months.
Award Requirements
To qualify for the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD, volunteers need to be U.S citizen or Legal Permenant Resident and submit a record of their service hours to Telugu Association of Greater Chicago (www.TAGC.org), and we will verify the service and award the PVSA. Along with TAGC required volunteer hours, a portion of volunteer service hours can be from other non-profit and non-religious activities benefiting whole community. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the necessary hours be completed within a calendar year; recipients can qualify for a new PVSA each year.
