Cesar Chavez Day
“¡Viva la casua!”
Cesar Chavez Day is on Wednesday March 31, 2010! HandsOn will be hosting a “Carousel of Projects” that evening at our office. I highly encourage you to think of volunteer projects that would in some way support Cesar Chavez values and mission of farm worker rights, Labor Unions, Nonviolence, & Food Security.
President’s Volunteer Service Award
The President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation (the Council) was established in 2003 to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities and encourage more people to serve. The Council created the President’s Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.
The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes individuals, families, and groups that have achieved a certain standard – measured by the number of hours of service over a 12-month period or cumulative hours earned over the course of a lifetime.
In order to honor your volunteers with these reputable awards, you must first become a certifying organization. When you volunteers have met the hour requirements, you can order their awards individually or in bulk.
