Save the Date: National Volunteer Week:
It is time to get National Volunteer Week on your calendar so you are sure to have a plan to recognize your local 4-H and Extension Volunteers. Some ideas might include:
- Encourage your club members to recognize their organizational leaders, project leaders, and other important 4-H volunteers during the week.
- Use your news column, radio spot or write a special news release to recognize volunteers in your program.
- Prepare a series of Facebook/Social Media posts to recognize volunteers during the week.
- Highlight National Volunteer Week in your April 4-H Newsletter.
- Handwrite several notes of appreciation throughout the week to special volunteers in your program.
- Check-in with new volunteers to see how things are going and offer support as needed.
Plan ahead now for National Volunteer Week, which is scheduled for April 19-25, 2026.
