Presidential Volunteer Service Award

Bunny Besties is a proud certifying organization for the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. The PVSA program utilizes two groups of organizations to certify service awards.  Certifying organizations or CO's are an integral part of the PVSA process to recognize outstanding citizens in our communities.  

How did Bunny Besties become a CO one might ask?  A CO is an organization that has been granted authority to approve volunteer service hours.  This prestigious honor is given through an application and review process to outstanding organizations.  We are proud to be an Official Certifying Organization of the Presidential Volunteer Service Award.

Bunny Besties was awarded the prestigious Presidential Volunteer Service Award for our volunteer service within our community.  This gold level award requires that our organization puts forth more than three thousand volunteer hours into volunteer service.  We have been awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) in 2017 and 2018.  Many of our volunteers also won individual awards for all the individual hours accumulated working with us in service to our mission in our hometown.

Bunny Besties rabbits focus on our program at the University of Minnesota where we work in the PAWS program and Boynton mental health and focus on spreading friendship, joy and the importance of mental wellness.  We also do community outreach working in the Twin Cities.  Our Bunny Besties rabbits are fully vetted, behavior certified and come with full liability insurance up to $2 million. Our human volunteers are Bunny Bestie Certified, background checked and committed to our mission and vision.  When completing this extensive process they are considered Bunny Besties Ambassadors.
