AUGUST 2021
I hope everyone had a great summer and were able to
spend some time with family and friends. With August
here and schools starting back that means the end of
this program year is near, I want to say THANK YOU to
everyone who participated in any 4-H activity, club, or
project this year. Although one year is ending our new
program year is about to kick off, we are going to be
starting some new clubs this program year and picking
back up on some that we had before COVID.

Health benefits of Volunteering Source: Ken Culp III, principal extension specialist Volunteering is a win-win for volunteers and the organizations they serve. In Kentucky 4-H and the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, our volunteers are invaluable to us, but they may not realize that volunteering may help them too. Research suggests that volunteering can improve your physical and mental health. Volunteering can decrease your risk for developing depression. This is particularly true for volunteers who are 65 years old and over. Volunteering increases social interactions, builds a support system and provides a sense of purpose as you help youth master new skills. Along with lower levels of depression, volunteers can have less stress. Increased social interactions and stronger social networks help lower instances of stress. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and form relationships through shared interests. Kentucky 4-H offers programs to interest all, so finding a way to help is easy. Serving as a volunteer can help you stay physically and mentally active. In 4-H, our volunteers are always moving and doing and they benefit from it. One study reported that people who volunteered had better physical health than those who did not. This is particularly true for adult volunteers over 60 in the study, who reported improved satisfaction with life and positive changes in their health. Volunteering may even extend your lifespan. Data from the Longitudinal Study of Aging found that volunteers often live longer than their counterparts, regardless of their physical health, age and gender. More information on how to volunteer with 4-H is available at the Owen County Extension office. Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of economic or social status and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, creed, religion, political belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expressions, pregnancy, marital status, genetic information, age, veteran status, or physical or mental disability.
