In February 2023, Samata Global Senate was awarded Certifying Organization status by the President’s Volunteer Service Awards (PVSA) program led by AmeriCorps and managed in partnership with Points of Light. PVSA was founded in 2003 by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation. PVSA honors the volunteers who spend their time and talents in service of others.
Samata Global Senate would like to recognize all volunteers including those who selflessly helped to make the Samata event successful last year.
We are now preparing our list of volunteers. Please help us by submitting the form. Please read carefully the criteria before applying.
Recipients must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. The proposed recipient may present a social security card, passport, or green card to satisfy this requirement.

Any contemplated award based on this exception must first be approved by POL and AmeriCorps working in concert.
