The theme for National Volunteer Week, commemorated April 18-24 is “Celebrating People in Action.” The theme captures the meaning behind this signature week – honoring the individuals who dedicate themselves to taking action and solving problems in their communities.
National Volunteer Week is a call to action for Americans to volunteer and a week to inspire by example. Created by executive order of President Richard Nixon in 1974, this week signaled a recommitment to creating a culture of service in America. Millions of Americans volunteer this week and demonstrate the positive community impact that engaged individuals, families, businesses and organizations create year-round. National Volunteer Week presents an opportunity for individuals, families, nonprofit organizations and government entities alike to celebrate the ordinary people who accomplish extraordinary things through service.
Cornell Cooperative Extension in Fulton and Montgomery Counties recognizes and celebrates all of our dedicated volunteers.
Volunteering is truly a selfless act where you give of yourself to better your community. The time and commitment that you extend is more than we could ever ask for and it is volunteers that help make Cooperative Extension/4-H programs a success. By multiplying CCEFM’s outreach and impact in the community, you touch residents’ everyday lives and make them better. The skills, knowledge, compassion and enthusiasm that you share are awe-inspiring.
