President’s Volunteer Service Award Program

Emissary Pageants International Congress is proud to be a certifying organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award Program.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award to recognize the important role of volunteers in America’s strength and national identity. This award honors individuals whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires those around them to take action, too.

The PVSA has continued under each administration, honoring the volunteers who are using their time and talents to solve some of the toughest challenges facing our nation.
