Now in its 29th year, the 2022 Prom Boutique gown giveaway event held at the Nassau County Police Department Center for Training and Intelligence in Garden City on April 9 was a resounding success. Project collaborators included the Long Island Volunteer Center, NCC Fashion and Marketing Department, Nassau County Association of Woman Police, Nassau County Guardians Association, Nassau County Police Hispanic Society and the Junior League of Long Island where the project originated. Contributors included Long Island Volunteer Enterprise, Mineola-Garden City Rotary, and Nassau County Police Foundation. 
 
The 2021 program pivoted from an in-person distribution event at Nassau Community College, to an on-line order and fulfillment program for local high schools and youth programs. Over 500 gowns and accessories were distributed confidentially and free of charge to young women who could not absorb that expense for their prom or graduation event. The program is coordinated through high school guidance counselors, social workers, and youth program coordinators.

<div>The continued support of the Prom Boutique by the Junior League of Long Island has helped sustain and grow the project over the years and members have volunteered annually since inception Spring, 1995. [See reflection at Prom Boutique tab for the "origin" story.]</div>

Westy Self Storage acts as the Long Island Volunteer Center’s second home. For over 15 years, Westy’s has been the backbone of logistics support for the annual prom gown giveaway project providing safe and climate controlled storage ensuring fabric preservation. The management team and staff members are supportive, accommodating, and the project’s best cheerleaders because of their genuine passion for community service. Discounted rates help with sustainability and willingness to lend trucks and receive donations have expanded program capacity. A true collaborator, the project would not continue to thrive without the Westy brand!

The President’s Volunteer Service Award is the most prestigious volunteer award associated with the White House.

<div id="article-content" itemprop="articleBody">
<div style="text-align: justify;">The Long Island Volunteer Center recently hosted a President’s Volunteer Service Award ceremony at the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island, 38 Old Country Road, Garden City. Three high school students received Gold Awards for their volunteer efforts at nonprofit organizations: Charlene Lin of Great Neck High School, Evan Ng of Bayside High School, and Valerie Ng of Bronx High School of Science.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">The President’s Volunteer Service Award is the most prestigious volunteer award associated with the White House. The students have earned the Gold Award, the highest award, because they donated the required number of hours. Each received a gold pin, an engraved certificate and a congratulatory letter from the U.S. President Joseph Biden. U.S. Representative Kathleen Rice also provided engraved certificates for the students.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">As certifying officer for PVSA, LIVC Board Chair Patricia Force of Rocky Point kicked-off the event. A featured speaker was Francesca Yellico of Ronkonkoma, Executive Director of The Bridge to Life, who supervised Evan and Valerie Ng.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Now, more than ever, it is time for Long Island to reinvest in its future. According to the AmeriCorps’ Volunteering in America report, New York ranked 48th in the nation for volunteer participation rates. Leading by example, these students used their time and talents to help build community, advance the human condition, and expand the reach and impact of the nonprofits they served.</div>
