NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK

April 15-21, 2012

Celebrating People In Action


National Volunteer Week was established in 1974. This special week was created to provide recognition to those that volunteer their time and skills and also to encourage others to come on out and get involved in their communities. Typically the Volunteer Director or Recreation/Activity Director organizes and facilitates the recognition events for the volunteers in their facility. Remember to use his time for recruitment and education as well.
