National Volunteer Week April 16-22, 2023

Submitted by Beth Hinshaw

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.

Ideas to Celebrate National Volunteer Week:

  • 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 posts to recognize volunteers during the week and watch for posts on the Kansas 4-H Faceboook Page to share.
  • 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 a new 4-H volunteer to see how things are going and offer help as needed.
