The Washington Declaration of Service (CLR) is a statewide initiative that encourages Washington residents to volunteer and become engaged in their local communities. This initiative is part of the Washington State Service Commission, which strives to promote volunteerism and civic engagement. The Washington Declaration of Service (CLR) provides a platform for citizens to recognize and celebrate the commitment to service and civic engagement. The Washington Declaration of Service (CLR) has two main components: the Washington Declaration of Service Pledge and the Washington Declaration of Service Award. The Washington Declaration of Service Pledge is a commitment to serve in one's local community and to recognize the importance of civic engagement. Individuals can sign the Pledge online, and are encouraged to build their own service projects or volunteer with an organization. The Washington Declaration of Service Award is an annual award that recognizes individuals and organizations who have made a commitment to service and civic engagement. Recipients of this award are given recognition for their service, including a certificate and recognition at the annual Washington Service Awards Ceremony. The Washington Declaration of Service (CLR) highlights the importance of civic engagement and volunteerism in Washington State, and encourages citizens to become involved in their communities.
