The President's Council on Service and Civic Participation founded the President’s Volunteer Service Award in 2003 to recognize the important role of volunteers in America’s strength and national identity. This award honors those whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires those around them to also take action. The PVSA has continued under each presidential administration, honoring the volunteers who are using their time and talents to solve some of the toughest challenges facing our nation. The PVSA allows Scotty's House to recognize our most exceptional volunteers.
Family Care
Volunteers
When children are brought to Scotty’s House to receive forensic services, Family Care Volunteers (FCs) welcome these child clients and their non-offending family members to our center. FCs also provide support for our counseling program by monitoring our counseling waiting area and assisting our therapists with clients. The primary goal of the FC is to help make our child clients feel welcome and comfortable while visiting our agency.
