Staff report
Logan County Extension
Logan County 4-H is saluting its volunteers during National Volunteer Week which runs April 18 – 24.
Carissa Davis, Youth Development Educator for Extension in Logan, Menard and Sangamon Counties, said volunteers guide their 4-H members in every way.
“National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognize the continued impact that volunteers have. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our clubs,” said Davis.
“4-H clubs and programs benefit from volunteers, but volunteers also benefit from the volunteering experience; gaining skills in teaching, leadership, and communication that are useful in their work and lives. Most of our volunteers report that they gained useful skills, increased their confidence, and made connections in the community.”
