The President’s Volunteer Service Award is an initiative of the Corporation for National and Community Service and is administered by Points of Light. The President's Volunteer Service Award celebrates the impact we can all make in bettering our communities and our world.
 
This is Chenette’s second time receiving volunteer honors from a U.S. president. Chenette previously earned the same recognition when he was a high school student from President George W. Bush, who also awarded him a top-level gold volunteer service award in 2008.
 
“Elected officials must set the gold standard for volunteering because, after all, public service should be about serving others,” said Chenette. “Imagine the impact we would have on our community, state, country and world if everyone volunteered just five hours of community service.”
