Volunteer of the Year Pin
The design
On the pin
A purple shield edged in gold tone. VOLUNTEER runs across the top, a gold trophy sits in the center, and OF THE YEAR is set on the banner at the point.
What it means
A trophy marks the top honor in a volunteer program, and the shield gives it the weight of a formal award. It is presented once a year, often at a banquet.
Colors and finish
Purple and gold feel regal. Hard enamel and a gift box suit a stage presentation.

Yes. A rhinestone in the cup costs $0.30 and suits a top award.
Can each milestone show different hours?
Yes, as versions of one design or engraved on the back.
When do organizations give volunteer pins?
