The Search for Outstanding Volunteers (SOV) is the centerpiece activity of the National Volunteer Month (NVM) which is observed every December pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 55, s. 1998. As mandated by Republic Act No. 9418, also known as the Volunteer Act of 2007, PNVSCA has embraced this strategy to play an active role in the promotion of volunteerism as a tool for development.

The SOV aims to identify and recognize exemplary Filipino volunteers, volunteer organizations, local government units, and higher education institutions for their outstanding performance and achievements in empowering communities and promoting volunteerism as a way of life, fostering a culture of volunteerism as a cornerstone of nation-building.
