About this template
Charities and volunteer coordinators reach for designs like this one when they want to thank volunteers for their time: a modern Festival Volunteer Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. Look closely and you will notice pennant flags, set off by Trade Winds lettering in ocean blue. You will also find it under Participation & Attendance on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
For [Name]: [Hours] community service hours completed with care and good humour.
In appreciation of [Name], who helped [Number] people through [Programme].
Presented with gratitude to [Name] by everyone at [Organisation].
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the hours volunteered and team lines. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. The design comes with three colour schemes (Fiesta, Citrus and Jewel), and every single colour can be changed. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
Bright white matte paper of 160–200 gsm keeps the colours crisp. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
