National Volunteer Week is a call to action for Americans to volunteer and a week to inspire by example. Created by the 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 community impact 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.
We, the staff at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Yates County, want to extend heartfelt thanks for your contributions as a volunteer in our educational programs. National Volunteer Week provides a special time to honor volunteers, but our appreciation and gratitude extend all year long. Your gift of time and expertise enhances our ability to reach new audiences and meet the emerging educational needs of Yates County residents. You are indeed part of our CCE Team.
