Christian County 4-H celebrating National Volunteer Week. It’s this week from April 18th through 24th. 

4-H Program Coordinator Alexis McDowell says that volunteers are vital to the Christian County 4-H program. She adds that volunteers lead clubs, teach workshops and share their knowledge and skill set with the next generation of youth. 

4-H youth development specialist for volunteer development Patricia McGlaughlin says that annually, volunteers spend nearly $3,000 worth of time per volunteer. Yet, the gift of their time, skills and passion is invaluable to the youth they support. 

Christian County 4-H is always looking for new volunteers to share a passion, skill, talent or time to help impact today’s youth. Contact the Christian County Extension Office for more information on how you can become a volunteer with 4-H.
