ASP Volunteer Service Awards
About the Awards
The ASP Volunteer Service Awards recognize students who have made an outstanding commitment to service in both their on and off-campus communities during their one-year abroad at Willamette University on the American Studies Program. These awards are based off of the President’s Volunteer Service Award program.
These awards are given at the end of the ASP academic year at the Co-Curricular Honors and Awards program, held during the last week of the ASP.
ASP students who volunteer 100 hours or more during the year are eligible for the award. There are three levels of the award, depending on the students’ amount of service:
Bronze Level: 100-174 hours
Silver Level: 175-249 hours
Gold Level: 250+ hours
Award recipients receive a medal, a certificate, and a congratulatory letter.
How to report hours
ASP students report volunteer hours by completing “Volunteer Hours Report Forms.” There are forms for individuals, group projects, and leadership positions.
Students must turn in these report forms to the Associate Director of Student Life in order for their hours to be counted.
Note: Hours that students volunteer as a part of an academic course for credit (that is a mandatory part of the course) will not be counted towards the Volunteer Service Award hours.
