2012 President’s Volunteer Service Award Recipients

Project HOPE awarded 43 volunteers with the President’s Volunteer Service Award for 2012, a national honor offered in recognition of volunteer service. 

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, Project HOPE confers the award to recognize the outstanding achievements of its medical volunteers, who have travelled thousands of miles by air, land and sea to bring health care and education to underserved communities worldwide.
