Take Pride in America Awards Program

Take Pride in America sponsors an annual national recognition and awards program. National awards recognize outstanding stewardship for group and individual volunteer efforts in twelve categories. Finalists and winners are selected by a panel of reviewers, and the awards are presented at a ceremony in Washington, DC.
