PRESQUE ISLE, Maine – Throughout National Volunteer Month this April, UScellular is recognizing its associates for giving back to causes, nonprofits and local communities in big and small ways. Amy Langley was among 16 UScellular associates who have been awarded the prestigious President’s Volunteer Service Award by the Office of the President of the United States for volunteering more than 200 hours in 2023.
Langley, inspired by her four children, wanted to do more to help the youth in her community. She decided to start volunteering in a few different roles, from coaching basketball and Little League to coordinating the local youth basketball program. Langley is currently an assistant coach for a team with the Mapleton Little League, assistant coach for a team with Aroostook Youth Basketball League and coordinates all the Presque Isle basketball teams for AYBL. She has been volunteering for youth sports for 10 years.
“I am a busy mom, I work full time with UScellular, and I find the time to volunteer in youth sports because I believe with all my heart that sports are a fundamental building block for many kids to help them grow and develop successfully,” states Langley. “Sports teach our youth about teamwork, cooperation, healthy competition, and respect. The experience has also helped me grow as a person, becoming a better communicator, considering different approaches and viewpoints, as well as becoming a pro at multitasking.”
The President’s Volunteer Service Award celebrates philanthropic contributions and impactful service, which has benefited communities across the nation and serves as an inspiration for others to volunteer.
“Congratulations to Amy for earning the prestigious President’s Volunteer Award,” said Brandi McCune, director of sales and operations at UScellular in New England. “This award symbolizes not only her dedication to service, but also her profound commitment to making a positive impact in her community. In total, UScellular has 16 associates receiving this award. The generosity that these associates demonstrate embody the values that UScellular is committed to, and I am honored to celebrate their achievements.”
