Planning for National Volunteer Week April 21-27, 2024
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 and families 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 Facebook 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.
Recognize the impact of the number of hours contributed to the organization or program.
Have a program participant share a success story about the volunteer.
Provide scholarships to conferences/training.
