recognition
President's volunteer service Awards
Student organization of the month
This national recognition program honors any U.S. citizen, with an award and a letter for the President, who gives at least 75 service hours over a 12-month period.
We are a certifying organization for anyone in the central TX area.
Volunteer of the Month
Service organizations are some of the largest drivers of volunteerism on campus. Each month, VolunteerUT will honor one student organization for their outstanding contribution to the community.
Many individuals volunteer without seeking recognition, but their work often inspires involvement in others. VolunteerUT will honor one individual each month for their outstanding contribution to the community.
graduation distinction
Any UT student who completes 400 hours of service or more prior to graduation and completes 4 service-learning courses is eligible for recognition.
