Presidential Volunteer Service Awards (PVSA) SUSPENDED

AmeriCorps has announced the suspension of the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) program. While this national initiative will no longer be operational, the Gulf Coast Latin Chamber of Commerce remains committed to honoring those who give their time in service to others.

We believe volunteerism is the heart of community impact, and it must be seen, valued, and celebrated.

That’s why we are launching the Latin Chamber Volunteer Service Award (LCVSA)<a new recognition program that will carry forward the same spirit of civic honor and integrity.
