Volunteers for Prosperity

Project HOPE is pleased to be part of the White House initiative - Volunteers for Prosperity (VfP). Volunteers for Prosperity was launched on May 21, 2003 by President Bush as an integral part of his agenda to combat global poverty, increase health, and stimulate prosperity in developing countries. Part of President Bush’s USA Freedom Corps, the Volunteers for Prosperity initiative encourages highly skilled and trained individuals to volunteer with organizations promoting health and prosperity throughout the world.

Volunteer service is a major component of the President’s ongoing effort to involve all Americans in sharing skills with others in their own communities and around the world. The VfP initiative encourages Americans with professional skills to volunteer with private voluntary organizations working in countries around the world.

Project HOPE volunteers who complete 100 or more hours of volunteer service at home or abroad within a 12-month period will become eligible to earn the new President's Volunteer Service Award. Each award package will include a letter from the President, a certificate, and a lapel pin.
