Volunteer Awards

In an effort to acknowledge the contributions of our community we have registered with The President’s Volunteer Service Award . This national honor recognizes those who have volunteered over a 12 month period. Categories range from as young as 5 to lifetime awards. This is a great opportunity for high school students to show consistency and commitment and is a highly recognized honor among ivy league schools and scholarships agencies.

We will use Homebase to log in hours. All ICGC, Rahma, and youth activities will count. You’re doing the work anyways, might as well get recognized.
