Volunteer Rewards Program
Your Time. Your Impact. Your Rewards.
Our Club thrives because of members who step up and get involved. The Volunteer Rewards Program is designed to recognize, reward, and encourage participation, from helping at a single event to leading an entire program. Whether you have an hour to help or want to take on a leadership role, your contribution matters.How the Program Works
Members earn Volunteer Points by supporting Club activities. Points are awarded based on the skill level, responsibility, and time commitment of each volunteer role. Points accumulate throughout the year and may be redeemed for recognition, rewards, and special benefits, as defined by the PSR Board.
