Guidelines
To earn an Award, individuals, families, and groups must keep a record of volunteer activities and hours served. Activities may be kept as a diary or calendar, or tracked online with the USA Freedom Corps Record of Service, available at www.presidentialserviceawards.gov.
Each volunteer must submit a record of service to a the World Massage Festival Certiying Organization, which will review and verify the record and distribute the Award.
A Record of Service is a private journal of your volunteer time and experiences in response to the President's call to service. You can keep a record of your activities serving your neighbor, your community, your country and the world. Return as often as you'd like to keep your record of service updated online. To create your Record of Service, go to www.presidentialserviceawards.gov/tgact/ros/dspROSlogin.cfm. When you create your Record of Service, use the World Massage Festival's Record of Service Key - CJV-35484 - to register the WMF as your Certifying Organization. This will provide a direct link between your Record of Service and the WMF's administrative account so that we can track your hours to order your Service Awards.

While almost all volunteer service contributes to eligibility for the Award, volunteers are encouraged to participate in service that addresses particular areas of need in our Nation. Priority areas include youth achievement, parks and open spaces, healthy communities, public safety, and emergency response. Activities should be unpaid and may not include court-ordered community service.
The President's Council on Service and Civic Participation
The President's Council on Service and Civic Participation was created in 2003 to help recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making to our Nation. Chaired by two-time Super Bowl champion Darrell Green, with former U.S. Senators Robert Dole and John Glenn serving as honorary co-chairs, the Council includes leaders from government, business, media, entertainment, education, and nonprofit, volunteer service and community organizations.
