Volunteers can be considered for the Singapore National Day Awards (an award presented at the State level), if they meet the prevailing guidelines. In addition to receiving a medal and a collar pin, award winners are also awarded titles that they can use in their professional lives, such as the Public Service Medal or Pingat Bakti Masyarakat (PBM) and Public Service Star or Bintang Bakti Masyarakat (BBM) titles following their names.

Instituted in 2011 by HTVN, the Minister for Home Affairs National Day Award (Home Team Volunteers) is presented to volunteers who have made consistent and significant contributions under the various Home Team volunteer schemes.

The award recognises the important role volunteers play in the Home Team.

Every year, eligible individuals serving on the various Home Team Boards/Councils/Committees (BCCs) will receive the Long Service Awards for their steadfast commitment, if they hit service milestones (at five-year intervals).

The respective Home Team Departments also give out awards to recognise the efforts of their volunteers. For more information, please refer to the Home Team Departments’ websites.
