Follow on Google News | Lostnmissing, Inc Honors Two Volunteers With President’s Volunteer Service AwardAward is a Prestigious National Honor for Volunteer Service
By: Cynthia Caron, President-Founder LostNMissing, Inc Established in 2003, the AWARD is available on an annual basis to individuals, groups and families who have met or exceeded requirements for volunteer service and have demonstrated exemplary citizenship through volunteering. As one of thousands of Certifying Organizations participating in the AWARD program, LostNMissing, Inc. confers the award to recognize the outstanding achievements of its volunteers. LostNMissing, Inc has a two-year history of volunteer service, and more than 7 volunteers perform community service each year on behalf of the organization to assist families of missing loved ones. “In his 2002 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush created the USA Freedom Corps, and called on every American to make a lifelong commitment to volunteer service. The PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD recognizes individuals and families who have answered that call,” said Cynthia Caron, President-Founder of LostNMissing, Inc. “America’s volunteers work to make our communities stronger and safer. As a Certifying Organization for the AWARD program, LostNMissing, Inc. is proud to be aligned with this prestigious volunteer award, and we are especially proud of our volunteers who have made volunteer service a central part of their lives.” The PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD is an award for volunteer service that every American – from every age and every walk of life – can aspire to achieve. To be eligible to receive the AWARD, individuals, families and groups submit a record of their annual volunteer service hours to participating Certifying Organizations, that will verify the service and deliver the AWARD. AWARD eligibility for individuals and groups is based on hour requirements varying by age. “These recipients of the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD are role models for all Americans,” Cynthia Caron said. “Each volunteer hour contributed makes a difference for the families of missing loved ones. Volunteers bring us closer together as families, as communities and as a Nation, through their commitment.” The AWARD is issued by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, a group created by President Bush to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making to our Nation. Chaired by two-time Super Bowl Champion Darrell Green, with former U.S. Senators Bob Dole and John Glenn as honorary co-chairs, the Council comprises leaders in government, media, entertainment, business, education, nonprofits and volunteer service organizations, and community volunteering.
