SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- If you volunteer or know someone who volunteers, here is an opportunity for all volunteers to be recognized. The 2019 Volunteer Appreciation Ceremony and Social is scheduled for 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm April 9 at Heritage Hall.
Volunteers contribute much time, dedication, and enthusiasm to our base and local communities. They faithfully commit themselves and go beyond the call of duty. The President's Volunteer Service Awards recognize volunteers' commitment to programs and communities. They are ordinary people who accomplish the extraordinary through volunteerism. The time period for recognition is Jan. 1, 2018, to through Dec. 31, 2018.
Volunteers must access either: “My Air Force Volunteer” https://myairforcevolunteer.com or if you already have an account at the President's Volunteer Service Award website at http://www.presidentialserviceawards.gov (Reminder please enter your category, "Adult, or Young Adult" so the site can track your hours for an award. If you put N/A in the category, the website will not track your hours for an award.
