Transforming Lives: The Global Impact of Points of Light

Founded in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush, Points of Light has become a key advocate for volunteerism globally. Originally inspired by Bush's vision of a 'thousand points of light,' the organization has evolved significantly. It went from recognizing daily acts of service to fostering extensive networks of nonprofit affiliates and corporate partners worldwide. Today, Points of Light not only celebrates volunteers but also supports organizations and corporations in their community efforts through resources, conferences, and research. The impact of their work is a testament to the power of volunteerism in addressing societal needs and connecting individuals.
