Above all, Pioneers is dedicated to exceptional service. Because it’s so vital to our mission, we reward Pioneers units that make an extraordinary impact through community service, chapter management, community impact, and fundraising.
We also reward individual Pioneers who go above and beyond to spark change in their communities.
