ExxonMobil`s volunteers for Junior Achievement provide positive role models for
local students and encourage community service
IRVING, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Junior Achievement USA® (JA) today presented Exxon Mobil Corporation with a
2011-2012 Silver U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award for providing the
organization with significant volunteer resources during the year. ExxonMobil
provided Junior Achievement with more than 10,000 volunteer hours.

"Through innovative partnerships between businesses, educators and volunteers,
we can prepare young people to enter the workforce and succeed in a global
economy," said Alan Kelly, president of ExxonMobil Fuels & Lubricants, who
received the award on behalf of the company. "This award honors the commitment
of hundreds of ExxonMobil employees around the world who volunteer with Junior
Achievement and share their experiences at schools in their communities."

President George W. Bush established the President's Council on Service and
Civic Participation in 2003 to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers
make in communities and encourage more people to serve. The Council created the
President's Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and honor
Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to
engage in volunteer service.

In 2006, Junior Achievement became an official certifying organization for this
award, which also recognizes corporations with a U.S. presence that provide
volunteers to teach JA programs anywhere in the world.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Junior Achievement program on leadership and
professional communications," said Ebony Jackson, a junior at Wunsche High
School in Spring ISD, Houston, Texas. "The program inspired me to be a leader on
my campus and a role model to my peers."

ExxonMobil is one of only 33 JA corporate partners to be honored with a
President`s Volunteer Service Award this year. The entire list of recipients is
located here.

"Junior Achievement volunteers play a key role in bringing Junior Achievement to
life. By sharing their personal and professional experiences and skills with
students in their communities, volunteers help young people to make a connection
between what they are learning in school and what they will need to succeed in
work and life. In so doing, they support students, their local communities and
America's economic competitiveness," said Jack E. Kosakowski, president and CEO
of Junior Achievement USA. "The U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award is an
outstanding way to acknowledge ExxonMobil and its employee-volunteers, who
demonstrate a commitment to their communities and encourage others to make
volunteering a priority."

Larry A. Leva, global vice chairman of Quality and Risk Management for KPMG
International and chairman of Junior Achievement USA, added, "By recognizing and
honoring volunteers, we shine a spotlight on everyday heroes who are working to
address pressing social challenges. We are also setting a standard for service
and fostering civic participation."
