National Volunteer Week - April 21-27, 2024

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/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.
