<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 240 / Friday, December 12, 2008 / Notices
on all Americans to dedicate 4,000
hours or two years of their lives to
volunteer service. He created the USA
Freedom Corps, a coordinating office at
the White House to oversee these efforts
and to bring increased attention to the
ways in which the Administration could
work together to enhance opportunities
for all Americans to serve their
neighbors and their nation.
In support of the President’s call to
service, the Corporation created an
electronic Record of Service to provide
citizens a way to track their service
activities and individually record their
volunteer service hours. Use of this
tracking tool is 100 percent electronic in
that users establish a user ID and
password that automatically creates an
account which is only accessible to that
individual user. The Record of Service
can only be updated by the user who
established the account. The Record of
Service has received heavy public use
and is a primary way for individuals to
track their eligibility for the President’s
Volunteer Service Award.
Individuals may link to this tracking
tool through the USA Freedom Corps
Web site at https://

President’s Volunteer Service Award
