The Congressional Award

The Congressional Award is a non-partisan, voluntary, award program open to all 14-23 year olds. Participants earn Bronze, Silver and Gold Congressional Award Certificates and/or Medals. Each level involves setting goals in four program areas: voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/exploration.

Earning the Award is a fun and interesting way to get more involved in something you already enjoy or something you'd like to try for the first time.

You move at your own pace - on your own or with your friends. This is not an award for past accomplishments. Instead, you are honored for achieving your own challenging goals. Regardless of your situation, you can earn the Congressional Award. The Congressional Award has no minimum grade point average requirements. It accommodates young people with special needs or disabilities who are willing to take the challenge.
