In 2003, the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation founded 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.
Golden Tiger Kung Fu & Extended Learning Academy is a Certifying Organization that is approved to review and verify our active student’s volunteer hours, and nominate and distribute the President’s Volunteer Service Awards.
