President's Volunteer Service Award

The President's Volunteer Service Award is the nation's premier volunteer awards program, encouraging United States citizens or lawfully admitted permanent residents of the United States through presidential recognition to live a life of service.

Volunteerism and Service Learning (VSL) is an official certifying organization for The President's Volunteer Service Award. Please see below for the tutorial on how to submit and verify your hours. If you have any questions please email us at UTVSL@austin.utexas.edu

Additionally, the President's Volunteer Service Award recipients are recognized during our annual Tower Awards ceremony recognizing students, faculty, staff and community partners committed to service within the UT Austin community.

Your recognition inspires others to take positive action to change the world!
