SVA Service Award
Your Record of Service

With an SVA Service Award profile you can
Log your hours
Log any type of volunteering hours (at school, at home or in your community) you've completed online. We'll award your first SVA Service Pin at 5 hours volunteering
Earn SVA Service Pins
As you reach each SVA Service Award volunteering milestone we'll make sure you receive a pin. Wear the pin as a symbol of the contribution you've made to your community.
Build a Summary of Service
You can log every piece of volunteering you do over the five years you're at secondary school. We'll track it, keep a record of it, order it by date and make it available to you whenever you need.
Use the Summary of Service
You can download your Summary of Service as a PDF at any time. It's going to come in handy for applications for jobs, uni, tech and scholarships.
Mix it up
This is a nationwide award framework. You can include any volunteering you've done, anywhere at any time. Home, school and community service will all be counted together.
This is a free programme
We promise there will never be any cost to you. Your pins and your summary of service will always be provided to you free of charge.
What was the most rewarding experience you had with the SVA Service Award?

Volunteering is...
If you're doing something to help other people and you're not doing it to make money then that's volunteering. Whether you're putting out cones at sports events, organising the school ball, caring for a sick whanau member, washing dogs at the SPCA, planting trees or picking up plastic rubbish at the beach you're making contribution to your community and that counts.
