In celebration and recognizing the completion of 85 years of volunteer service, Active 20-30 USA and Active 20-30 International have received President George W. Bush’s national Presidential Volunteer Service Award, and has been named the national Daily Point of Light for Friday, April 25, 2008 (which is also “Global Youth Service Day“) by the Points of Light Foundation.

In addition to the President’s and national Points of Light honors, United States Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and United States Representative Doris Matsui (CA-05) have also awarded Active 20-30 USA and Active 20-30 International with Congressional Records, honoring Active 20-30 (which originated in Sacramento, California in 1922), as the “Original Global Youth Service Organization” on Global Youth Service Day.

Finally, California’s Secretary of Service and Volunteering, Karen Baker, plans to personally present Active 20-30 members with a California State Accommodation, as well as a recognition letter from California First Lady Maria Shriver, during an Active 20-30 playground Ribbon-Cutting event on April 25.
