Changemaker Central
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 (PVSA) as a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.
Changemaker Central @ ASU is a certifying partner and confers this prestigious award to individual students, clubs, and organizations at ASU. This award serves as an example of ASU's commitment to service in the Valley of the Sun and beyond. For more information, visit Presidential Service Award.
