Important Update on Presidential Volunteer Service Awards (PVSAs)

As of May 27, 2025, AmeriCorps has temporarily paused the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) program. This decision affects all certifying organizations, including UPchieve.

At this time, AmeriCorps has not announced when the program will resume. UPchieve will share updates as soon as more information becomes available. You can read the official announcement and find updates on the PVSA website.

We know many of our volunteers have been working hard toward earning this award, and we understand how disappointing this news may be. UPchieve is incredibly proud of your service and commitment, and we remain committed to celebrating your impact in other meaningful ways.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce the UPchieve Service Award! 🎉
While this is not a national recognition like the PVSA, it was created with care to honor the dedication of volunteers like you. The award comes in three tiers—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—and is based on your lifetime volunteer hours. Click here to learn more.

We’re so grateful for all that you do, and we can’t wait to recognize your incredible contributions!
