As of 2006 the Alzheimer’s Association became a certifying organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award. This Award was created to thank and honor Americans who demonstrate commitment to volunteering. Through their example and commitment they also inspire others to engage in volunteer service.

As a certifying organization we would like to recognize all our volunteers with this honor. However we need your help to keep track of volunteer hours. The process is simple. You volunteer and keep track of your hours on your log. We check the logs and total your hour’s. If you meet the criteria we give you an award.
