Volunteers Get A Day!

I often write about trips and conferences that our 4-H members participate in, but recently our wonderful Volunteers got their chance to have fun learning when they travelled to Volunteer Leader’s Conference in Raleigh. 
 
Volunteers from across the state gather each year to learn new information, share what they are doing in their counties, celebrate the work that has been done over the past year and meet other volunteers who can understand the challenges and successes that they experience.   
 
Richmond County 4-H Volunteer Mamie LeGrand and 4-H Program Assistant Cynthia Little took the trip with me last weekend and went to the conference to learn how to better serve the youth of Richmond County. 

If anyone is interested in becoming a 4-H Volunteer, please contact Michelle Stumbo at 997-8255 or michelle_stumbo@ncsu.edu.  Volunteering is a great way to affect youth in a positive way by allowing them to form learning relationships with caring, screened, trained adults.  You can also support Richmond County 4-H by contributing to the United Way of Richmond County.
