How many volunteer hours have you logged in 2020, EN? One new feature of the USEA Volunteer Incentive Program in 2020 is the introduction of a new medal system. This is an effort to recognize volunteers as they dedicate their time to helping the sport each year. All hours logged through EventingVolunteers.com will be counted towards the medal totals, which are as follows:
Bronze Medal: 500 volunteer hours
Award: embroidered polo, pin, certificate
Silver Medal: 1000 volunteer hours
Award: embroidered vest, pin, certificate
Gold Medal: 2000 volunteer hours
Award: embroidered jacket, pin, certificate
Bear in mind that hours must be logged through EventingVolunteers.com and that only hours submitted for recognized events will count towards the medal program — but please don’t let that stop you from helping out at your local schooling show, too! We’ll list all such opportunities in this post each week. Get out, go volunteer, and have fun!
