今年1月，在MCCC董事会主席孙建国、副主席洪克与YLA主席何显斌的共同努力促成下，MCCC获准正式成为有权颁发总统志愿者服务奖President’s Volunteer Service Award （以下简称PVSA）的官方认证机构。
PVSA由美国服务与公民总统委员会（President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation）于2003年设立，旨在鼓励志愿者通过奉献自己的时间与才能积极投入社区活动，热心服务他人。该奖项由Corporation for National and Community Service与 Points of Light联合主办，通过认证机构褒奖作出杰出贡献的社区志愿者。
董事会决定于今年在社区推行总统志愿者服务奖（President’s Volunteer Service Award）。所有社区朋友从5岁起都可以参加，每年达到规定的志愿时间就可以收到总统的感谢信和奖牌，这个项目对于我们的社区尤其是YLA是一个很好的锻炼机会，将由董事会副主席洪克具体负责，详细内容《密城快讯》将做跟进报道。
