Through hard work and dedication, 27 Arizona State University students have qualified for the President’s Volunteer Service Award.
The national award was established in 2003 by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation and recognizes the importance of volunteers in the U.S. and their commitment to serving their communities.
In total, the ASU students’ efforts amount to thousands of hours in community impact, giving their time to help tackle issues like homelessness, the environment, education in underserved communities and many others.
