Plan Now for National Volunteer Week, April 19-25, 2026

Submitted by Beth Hinshaw

It is time to add National Volunteer Week to your calendar so you have a plan to recognize your local 4-H and Extension Volunteers.

Ideas to Celebrate National Volunteer Week:

  • Recognize the impact of the number of hours contributed to the organization or program.
  • Recognize the achievements or accomplishments of those with whom the volunteer works.
  • Have a program participant share a success story about the volunteer.
  • Provide scholarships for conferences/training.
  • A handwritten thank-you note or phone call.
