The President's Volunteer Service Award
The President's Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) is an award bestowed by the President of the United States to encourage U.S. citizens or permanent residents to engage in volunteer service. As a certifying organization of this national program, the Association of Northern California Chinese Schools (ANCCS) has established a Review Committee to process applications from member schools. Our objective is to acknowledge students from member schools who participate in volunteer activities that promote Chinese language education and Chinese culture. Through their volunteering experiences, we hope that students will immerse themselves in Chinese culture and foster a habit of giving back to the community.
All students from member schools who are 11 years or older and serve as unpaid teaching assistants, participate in educational and cultural activities organized by Chinese schools, or engage in volunteer services that promote Chinese language and culture in other communities/organizations, are eligible to apply for the award.
The award levels are based on the number of service hours earned. To encourage member school students to serve the community, applications for this award are free of charge. For detailed guidelines and application forms, please click the link below:
