National Volunteer Week 2009

Join statewide volunteers April 19 through 25 to celebrate National Volunteer Week!

National Volunteer Week reflects the power that volunteers have to “inspire by example” — volunteers both encourage those they help and motivate others to serve! Find out how you, too, can participate in the week’s many offerings. From April 19 through 25, this special week offers opportunities to thank some of West Virginia’s most valuable assets — our volunteers — and to recognize the myriad of ways they improve our communities.
