Opportunity to participate in the Volunteer Program is available to all active duty military, federal civilians, military and federal retirees, and family members that possess a valid Department of Defense Identification Card regardless of their agency affiliation. (paragraph 3)
Volunteer incentives can be redeemed only once during the eligible month unless otherwise indicated. Incentives expire on the 15th of each month and cannot be extended or transferred into another month. If an incentive is not used within the eligible period, it is no longer available. (paragraph 4)
Families who accrue hours under this plan will only receive one set of awards based on the total combined hours. The awards are not given to each family member, but are to be shared by the all participating family members. (paragraph 4)
Only volunteers nominated for, but have never won, the Volunteer of the Year, Volunteer Coordinator of the Year, or the Volunteer Excellence Award (VEA) are eligible. A volunteer can only win the Angel Award once in their lifetime. (paragraph 5)
A list of volunteers and the number of hours they have donated will be compiled by each agency Volunteer Coordinator and turned in no later than the 5th duty day of each month. If hours are not turned in on time, the volunteer could lose that month’s incentives. (paragraph 6)
