Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) May 27, 2007 -- Blossom International today announced it has teamed with the White House to become a Certifying Organization for the PRESIDENT'S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD, a national program recognizing Americans who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service. Established in 2003, the AWARD was created by President George W. Bush to give Presidential recognition to individuals, families and groups who meet requirements for volunteer service, measured by the number of service hours performed over 12-months.
Blossom International is one of the many organizations that have joined forces to deliver the PRESIDENT'S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD and honor the volunteers who strengthen our Nation. As a Certifying Organization for the AWARD, Blossom International is responsible for verifying service hours, nominating potential recipients and delivering the AWARD.
"We are extremely proud to recognize our most outstanding volunteers with the PRESIDENT'S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD," said Michele Rodriguez, Executive Director. "Our volunteers generously donate their time, energy and talent and are responsible for upholding our mission to promote empathy and compassion through action."
"Even if you've never volunteered before, the PRESIDENT'S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD is within your reach," Michele Rodriguez said. "There are so many ways to contribute, and every volunteer hour makes a difference. We have opportunities to volunteer in all aspects of our organization and for all ages. Our Children for Charity program is specifically for ages five through seventeen and meant to empower youth by helping them volunteer in their communities."
The AWARD is issued by the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation, a group convened by President George W. Bush to help foster and encourage a culture of volunteer service and civic participation among Americans. 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 is composed of leaders in government, media, entertainment, business, education, nonprofit and volunteer service organizations and community volunteering.
