Membership benefits or resources
A keepsake medal is a commemorative and collectible item. It is not an earned volunteer award, proof of completed service hours, or verification of membership.
Volunteers seeking complete program participation and recognition benefits should explore the Global Volunteer Recognition Program Annual Memberships.
Choose the Membership That Matches Your Service Year
Annual memberships are available separately for volunteers who completed service during the corresponding calendar year:
Membership years correspond with the year in which the volunteer service was completed.
Looking for Earned Volunteer Recognition?
Qualified members may also pursue recognition through the Global Volunteer Awards™. Global Volunteer Awards are separate from keepsake medals and require documented volunteer service, eligibility review, and an active membership for the corresponding award year.
