National Volunteer Week Kicks Off April 23rd

National Volunteer Week is a yearly week of recognition for the thousands of people in the U.S. who give generously of their time and resources to a huge variety of causes.   This year it is April 23 – 29, 2017.

HOW IT STARTED:  This designated week started in Canada dating back to the time of the Second World War, when women were celebrated for their part in supporting the war effort on the home front.

In 1974 Nixon established National Volunteer Week for the United States.  Each year, the current president issues a special proclamation in honor of volunteers.  A number of awards are presented for outstanding service including the President’s Volunteer Service Award and the Points of Light Tribute Awards.

The week is used to bring awareness to the contributions of volunteers and to encourage more people to donate their time to a local, national, or global cause.

It’s also a time to maybe roll up your sleeves and donate your time, talent or money to a local charity to make New Jersey a Better Place!

Not sure where to go?

New Jersey Governor’s Office of Volunteers is a perfect place to start.  Not only to Find things to volunteer for – but for outreach to non-profits who are looking for help!

HOW COOL! @nationalparkservice “The octopus, ak HOW COOL!
 @nationalparkservice “The octopus, aka the floppy floppy spider of the sea...” - Ze Frank

🤔Actually, the octopus is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of the order Octopoda. Around 300 species are recognised, and the order is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids. This floppy stowaway came up on some marine debris that was being removed at @biscaynenps in Florida. After marveling at its brilliant colors and general splendor, it was safely returned to its octopus garden in the shade.
