2024 Annual Membership | Global Volunteer Recognition Program

Honor and celebrate the impact of volunteers with the 2024 Global Volunteer Recognition Program Membership. This membership can be purchased for yourself or gifted to a friend or family member who has dedicated time to making a difference. The program is not a competition—it is about recognizing and celebrating every act of service, big or small.

Who is eligible?

The 2024 Global Volunteer Recognition Program Membership is open to anyone who completed volunteer hours between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. If you gave your time and made a difference, you are welcome.

Can 2024 hours still be certified for PVSA?

Yes, hours from 2024 may be certified for the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA), provided they are not older than 730 days (2 years). If the hours are older than 2 years they are no longer eligible for the President’s Volunteer Service Award but they are eligible for the Global Volunteer Awards. 

How does membership work?

Once you purchase the 2024 Global Volunteer Recognition Program Membership, you will be granted immediate access. All volunteers are welcome, regardless of age or location.

When you become a member of the Global Volunteer Recognition Program™, you are joining a mission-driven organization committed to celebrating volunteer service with integrity and purpose. GVRP and founder Laurel Barrett have been recognized for volunteerism, leadership, entrepreneurship, and community impact through awards, nominations, business credentials, and civic recognition.
